Fairly easy really, since you ask (I am merely responding to this challange!).

"WASHINGTON -- A health advocacy group accused the government Monday of allowing fake meat made from fungus to be sold even though it makes people sick, and demanded that the product, known as Quorn, be recalled."

Actually, the Center for Science in the Public Interest cannot be accused of being one-sided: in 2007 they slated chickens and fruit as being often responsible for Salmonella and Norovirus respectively.

Just look - the evidence is there ... (sigh).

Fair enough, but that simply shows that some people have an adverse reaction to it, similarly to most foods. Just because some people are allergic to a food does not make it unhealthy.

Thanks to op for posting. For the life of me I cannot understand those who choose to eat meat feeling the need to lambaste other people's choices. If you don't wish to eat these products why attempt to use the thread and try to bully those who do?

Your attempts at 'educating' those of us who are vegetarian are laughable and very ill informed. In the same way that those who eat meat have a choice at which products they wish to purchase, so do those who don't eat animal flesh. If I wish to eat processed food I jolly well will and the ramblings of someone on an internet forum who deigns to tell people what they should and should not eat or purchase certainly wouldn't impact me one iota.

As for your assertions regarding fake meats etc, why should it bother you what other people eat? If you are so secure about your own opinions, you wouldn't need to try and force them upon others. I tend to find those people with the most uncertainty in themselves are the very ones who try to hector and control others.

If I want to eat products which have a taste of meat, but which don't consist of animal flesh and therefore do not involve the butchery of an animal I will. Because you feel that this is not valid matters not a bit. You might rather eat the dead animal itself, and that is completely your choice.

Your inability to grasp the concept of these products is a struggle you might have to come to terms with, live and let live and get over it. This is a grabbit forum where people are able to choose whichever products they want to buy without being lectured to by people who appear to have some sort of control issues.

In the interests of fair assessment, I'd have to personally visit the bakery and sample the cakes to be sure they would put me off. Do you still know anyone there?

It's an enormous factory in Eastleigh, and most of the staff speak Polish, but you can obtain their products quite easily at any shop near you... :rolleyes:

It's a discussion forum, and people are entitled to voice their concerns if they so wish. As long as they aren't rude I don't really see why it's such a big deal, calling it bullying is a little OTT.

Ahem....getting back to the point of me starting this post in the first place.......

In Sainbury's after work today, 6 Quorn bangers (with cracked black pepper, thyme and parsley) half price, down to 79p.

Oh, is that what they make it from! :eek: :rotfl:

Actually 16 people have pressed the thanks button, so plenty of people have appreciated Foxystoat posting it.

You are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to disagree. We all have different boundaries and perceptions. Personally speaking I feel the posts I 'replied' to were indeed hectoring and as you mention it, extremely rude and judgmental.

Voicing concerns is one thing, but I don't think that was done respectfully and when you attack people's lifestyle choices based on a grabbit post on Quorn products and assert they are wrong for making those choices (on more than instance) offence can be caused and I don't think that is friendly or in the spirit of the forum. So.. I decided to 'voice my concerns' too and like you did, fair enough. Over and out on the matter.

Back to the original post though, great buys on the Quorn products and I will check out the latest deals in Sainsburys, thanks op. Wish they would make some of the range without eggs in though.

I hope they're vegetarian worms for my sake!

I thought i was only being helpful when making the initial post too!

No that I'm in it for the popularity but I don't think any of my previous posts as been viewed as much as this one!

The thing I can't get my head around, is why- this is to all those posting along the lines of "anti quorn".

Why post stuff like that on here? is there some grab-it I am not quite understanding here? please explain!

And thankyou to the guy who got back to everyone, but me.

(Just to add, I eat both meat and quorn, I eat quorn as I happen to really like the taste of it!)
