Delicious, clean and cultured – what will we eat tomorrow?
Podcast Food Fak(t), launching in October, is dedicated to the sustainable food of the future
Berlin, October 2023. In his new podcast Food Fak(t), Stefan Fak takes a close look at the food trends of tomorrow. Starting October 6, an episode of this culinary column with the founder of the vegan gourmet brand Lotao will appear every two weeks on Fridays.
With knowledge and wit, speed and curiosity, the host, together with his guests from the food industry, sheds light on various aspects of fair food concepts – including a bubbling diversity of opinions and astonishing tastings.

What does air protein taste like? Does dairy-free cheese close the stomach? Who decides on the ethical acceptability of a cultivated product and is fast food automatically fattening food? Together with experts and pioneers from the food world, Risolier and optimist Fak researches convincing nutritional concepts and dishes up surprising ideas. He wants to know how we can potentially feed 10 billion people wholesome and healthy food while conserving our planet's resources.
The guest list illustrates open-mindedness and a hunger for ideas: Julian Hallet, whose company Happy Ocean Foods develops seafood and fish from plants - with respect for and a taste for the ocean - will kick things off. Drugstore giants, food tech start-ups, award-winning chefs, delivery services and food influencers will follow.
Straight talk at the table: Host Stefan Fak wants to know exactly
Business economist Stefan Fak initially worked for a few years in advertising and the tourism industry before his search for new perspectives took him to Asia. There he fell in love with the endless rice fields of Vietnam. With fresh plans in his luggage and the absolute will to make nutrition climate- and people-friendly, he founded Lotao. What began with a small grain of rice has developed into an international gourmet brand.
Over the next few years, Fak increasingly developed into a food hunter; a truffle pig who critically, experimentally and passionately explored different food concepts. His wealth of experience and openness make him the ideal sparring partner for an auditory deep dive.
Food Fak(t) provides listeners with information that they cannot get elsewhere. "I want to usher in the end of greenwashing and blabla in my podcast," says the Viennese man, describing briefly what drives him. "I research solutions for philanthropic food concepts, ask provocative questions and hopefully raise awareness of fair coexistence - at the table and everywhere else."
