What If “Lightlife” Had A Farm? (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 20th, 2012 in Business, Food & Drink, Videos.

A cute and entertaining video that poses the question of how farmed animals would live on a pasture owned by one well-known producer of vegetarian and vegan faux meats, entrees and other dishes.

Watch the clip before going out and sampling some of your favorite Lightlife products like Smart Bacon, Veggie Chili, tofu hot dogs and more.
