Moving Mountains is one of England’s best-selling companies producing vegan alternatives to beef, pork, chicken and fish. The brand was founded by a vegetarian entrepreneur. He was told by his GP to give up dairy, so he did and got better. So then he used his business acumen to launch this brand, that is sold in stores nationwide, and widely popular for food service (restaurants, hotels, cafes etc).
Avoid sausages and hot dogs for children and choking hazards, keep away from pets (they look and taste like meat). Read more on food safety for people and pets.
You can recycle any soft plastic packaging at supermarket bag bins, if your council does not recycle.

Plant-based Alternatives to Cod
Moving Mountains fishless fillets
Fishing does support local communities, but most fish sold is from commercial fisheries on huge ships that trawl and catch everything in its path (seabirds, seals, dolphins, whale and sharks).
If you eat fish, look for the blue eco label from Marine Stewardship Council. Their 2022 report found 76% of Iceland’s own-brand seafood was certified (that means 24% own-brand and other brands aren’t). Some people prefer to boycott Canadian seafood, until the baby seal cull ends.
Cod is one of the most popular fish choices in England, despite 90% of cod (and tuna) in our seas already having been caught. Fish farms are not the answer (they are cruel and spread disease). As cod and haddock are the most common order at chip shops, some are even selling spiny dogfish (a kind of shark) without telling customers.
Most chip shop ‘fish’ is sourced from Iceland and Norway (mostly from one trawler). Yet when asked, just a third of MPs knew that most fish sold is from waters beyond our waters. .
The company also makes fishless fingers – as good as the Captain’s! Serve with mashed potatoes, mushy peas and ketchup.
Ireland’s Sea & Believe produces plant-based cod’ and goujons from seaweed (it’s re-training Irish fisherman to become seaweed farmers, to provide jobs in rural communities).
