The new Pure-Play Plant-Based Food Stocks Index* tracks the price performance of the 6 stocks in the fledgling plant-based fake meat, dairy, eggs, and seafood sector to complement the Pure-Play Pot Stock Index and the Pure-Play Psychedelic Stocks Index. 

Below are the introductory paragraphs, and links, to my recent exclusive articles on TalkMarkets on each company, followed by their stock performances since the last report on Friday, December 11th:
