Parmesan is always made with animal rennet but other hard cheeses are fine

Is genetically modified food bad? I thought it just meant that some scientist had done something to make it grow quicker or better?

I just did some research on soya and it says its ok as part of a healthy balanced diet, which is pretty much the same for all foods isn't it?

I am only interested because i know a veggie and they say things like 'quorn is really good for you' 'it's ok to eat fish they don't remember anything'

definition of vegetarian: a person who does not eat meat, fish, or other flesh.

Some ethical vegetarians point out that some small shellfish have not yet been shown to have any pain receptors, whereas removing young calves from their mothers and not allowing them to suckle causes great distress; however, there is always more research to be done on consciousness and pain, and if you use organic milk from a source approved by The Soil Association then the calves will have spent longer suckling

quorn is grown from fungi, is low fat and high protein.

GM is disapproved of for a variety of reasons, many of them to do with the habit of the large companies who own the patents etc of including a sterility gene in their altered strains so that farmers in 3rd world countries cannot save seed
