‘You’d never know they’re plant-based and packed with clean protein to keep you fueled’

Vegan snack brand Outstanding Foods, maker of popular PigOut Pigless Pork Rinds just completed a $5M round of financing led by SternAegis Ventures.

The brand, which is known for creating healthy snacks that can be enjoyed mindfully without sacrificing taste or texture will invest the capital in developing new vegan snacks. The additional funds will facilitate nationwide marketing, retail expansion, and team development.

 Vegan McGee

McGee is a strict vegan and credits the plant-based diet for his health. In a GO interview in 2018, he said; You just feel really good, lighter. And there is a lot more energy you have throughout the day.”

According to the star athlete, going vegan isn’t that difficult, the food not only makes him feel energized but also helps him stay trim, which allows him to sprint, run up and down the floor and effortlessly dunk the ball.
