CNBC names Hampton Creek #24 in their top 50 disruptor list

[Calliegirl]

In Josh Tetrick's world, he doesn't ask which came first—the chicken or the egg. The company he founded in 2011, Hampton Creek, simply bypasses the chicken altogether.

Some environmentalist rich guys (Gates I believe?) chucked a bunch of money into this to help the egg problem. Good news.

The new vegan mayo from Unilever will likely be called either Hellmann's or Best Foods depending on where one lives.

I've never seen Hellmann's here, but I grew up knowing only about Best Foods because that's what's sold here in California.

I also found this: Hellman's goes vegan (just don't call it mayo)
