I'm not saying quorn is from a natural source-far from it-but it is low fat, I find it pleasant tasting and there is nothing to say that is is bad for you. I would very much like to know if the people against it, eat meat or smoke? The first is far more ethically dubious than any bit of manufactured material, the second, so incredibly more likely to kill or harm you.
A bit of quorn in your sandwich as a veggie, i find better as an occasional treat than calorific hummus or fatty cheese and a welcome change. Have two jobs which require me to be out of the house all day every day and never sit down in my physically demanding job so fuck it, I will eat a quorn steak and love it when arrive home shattered, starving and not got the time, ingredients or effort to make a lentil mousakka. I can not see how it is worse than a Dominos pizza or a Burger King which I would never touch as find them so unhealthy AND foul!
And lets not even go into how quorn as a manufactured entity does not rape the third world like meat, soya and a lot of veg...
As a vegetarian, i do not go on threads about the best sausage and post up pictures of pigs being slaughtered-tis bad form.
But some are doing the same on a thread which is not 'Is Quorn Bad?' but asking about the taste of quorn roast.
I said myself in previous ignored posts that the history of quorn was not mushrooms frolicking in fields-my ex worked on its manufacture but still eats it!
It is nice to share debate and knowledge but being sanctimonious is something veggies are 'meant' to be-there are far worse things in the world to get upset about than food in which nothing is killed for. I probably eat more veg than most people but is nice to have a different texture and taste once in a while. To go on about people eating quorn every day is the same as being concerned about a meat eater who will only eat steak. Most people eat a bit of a lot. There are exceptions to the rule but there always are to pretty much everything. What food is great ethically, nutritiously, healthy, easy to prepare, can be a meal in itself, has never contained pesticides, has not been flown in, people exploited for etc etc?
No-one is perfect, no food is perfect. To go on about quorn whilst battery chickens etc still exist seems somewhat selfish and pointless.
