Why the anti-Quorn?
Cause it's evil. I can't eat the stuff - makes me feel ill. And I don't eat meat. There's been attempts to have it banned in the US.

t's the truth about... Quorn[/url]
I'm not sure that we've necessarily evolved over millions of years to eat "a fungus that was discovered in a North Yorkshire soil sample in the Sixties".

"a small proportion of people could experience mild allergies"...I would imagine there is always going to be a small proportion who suffer mild allergies with any food/drink product 🙄

we have evolved as omnivores, and can assimilate most foods. I used to eat Quorn with no ill effects beyond farting.
For a long time Quorn wasn't classified suitable for vegetarians by the Vegetarian Society.

yeah, the poor likkle quorns kick up such a fuss when they are cruelly bludgeoned to death 🙁

That really is a nonsense statement. Dogs, bears and foxes are also 'omnivores', it doesn't mean that we've evolved to eat identical food as them. And what do you class as "most foods" ? Blood and ants are "food" to some animals, does that mean that our bodies have evolved to digest blood and ants ?

Probably more to do with the fact that battery hen eggs are used in the production of Quorn

no, and I never claimed we were, however we can digest all sorts of stuff...
does that mean that our bodies have evolved to digest blood and ants ?
yes. Black pudding, and some ants are a tasty snack in Africa

WHAT ?? Jeez 🙁

Black pudding=blood mmmmmmmmmmm food of the gods.
LOL ! Indeed I had forgotten about black pudding ! One of the very few things which I miss not eating - I would certainly consider eating it before bacon.
Although it's certainly not quite the same as fresh blood ingested by vampire bats. I think that would make you throw up ....

I said "omnivores" not friggin [b]vampires[/b] 🙁
I had some veggie black puddin last year. 1) it wasn't black 2) it tasted nothing like 🙁

i believe they switched to free range a good few years ago now, but i'm not sure on that one... i don't eat it anyway though, eggs is eggs and i'm banned from eating them by the vegan police.
No you said : " can assimilate most [u]foods[/u]". Blood is "food" to some creatures. As I said, it really was a nonsense statement - what you call "food" is highly debatable. I don't consider a parasitic fungi which was discovered to have destroyed a wheat crop in 1967 as "food"

OK, I see what you mean - but I was thinking of things used as food by other mammals. Apart from things which are poisonous to us, we can manage most things except grass & bamboo etc and rotting flesh

OK, I think we got that message 🙂
quorn(tm) is (possibly) the work of the devil
have you considered forcing rhubarb?
There are some Maasai tribes that still drink blood. Fresh from the Jugular of their cows. Mostly ceremonial and for medicine IIRC
