Another day, another reason to meat reduce!
Whatever your reason to go plant-based, be it full-time or part-time, there’s increasingly no excuse to not make that change!
‘Unrivalled plant-based hotdog’
This week I was invited for the exclusive launch of Moving Mountains’ brand-new footlong hotdog. This claims to be a hotdog like no other with a taste, look and feel of pork that isn’t rivalled by any competitor product. Made primarily of sunflower seeds as well as carrots, onions, paprika and coconut oil, it’s got all the taste whilst being animal and planet friendly too!
The Event
The launch was hosted at Unity Diner, the not-for-profit plant-based diner set up by Instagram superstar Earthling Ed (@earthlinged). Amongst the crowd were a variety of influencers including ‘Feed Me Vegan’ author Lucy Watson (@lucywatson), who was happily posting all the excitement of the night to her 1.3m Instagram followers, lots of people from within the plant-based community and the press – all excited to try the latest product from Moving Mountains and learn more about it.
The Verdict…
Wow – this dog was off the scale! This was an amazing hotdog. In honesty, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten meat, but I truly don’t recall it tasting, looking or feeling any different. But there is a difference – a very big one… this plant-based ‘pork’ hotdog is completely aligned to ProVeg’s core beliefs – better for health, better for animals and better for the environment than its meat-based equivalent.
The More the Merrier!
At ProVeg we wish innovative products like this that help people – eat plant-based, stay plant-based or simply reduce their meat now and again – every success. I for one will be helping their business and can’t wait for another hotdog!
