Re: Quorn
I sent an email to Marlowfoods and this is what they had said:
"Thank you for your recent contact regarding Quorn products. We were pleased to hear that you enjoy them.

Re: Quorn
Nope, it doesn't matter. Just hate seeing people taken for a ride. Most veggies I know are in it for the "pureness" and naturalness (? word exists) of the food. Quorn is akin to giant mushrooms grown in liquid state boosted by steroids.
KFC - now that scares me! Think I would rather eat Quorn!
Mind you, a friend of mine here supplies maccers with their beef and that's interesting! They buy the cheapest "best" cuts and also 25% fat to mix in themselves!
At least the fast food guys have stopped making their chips/fries in animal (pork) fat which again, many veggies have been eating for years thinking chips are fine! Potatoes are cool. It was actually a muslim in the US who sued Maccers when he found it out he had been eating chips deep fried in pork fat. I think they all use veggie oil now.

Re: Quorn
Thanks for that.
I'm really interested in veggies who eat alot of the processed stuff.
I'm with you on the organic front. Is it not that big over in Perth then? Havent eaten meat, fish or dairy for years but been told I should despite a good diet. Trying to get my head round eating fish at the mo - its an odd thought.

Re: Quorn
I was a vegetarian from 16 to 23. Then I moved to Spain and they had no idea what the word meant (ham in peas ffs). I started eating fish and haven't looked back. In retrospect with Mad Cows, foot and mouth, scrapie, salmonella in chicken, I don't feel like I've missed much.

Yeah I'm going to start eating some fish. I'v been vegan for 24 yrs so it is an odd thought. But seems for long term health tis better.
Not going to get into dairy - maybe odd bit of yoghurt & feta.
Still weird the thought of eating a fish - plan is this week - hope I can stomach it

Re: Quorn
Wow, 24 is a long time but Australia is a great country to start eating fish in. For a gentle introduction, try a bit of whiting - very light, very tasty. Then work your way up to grilled Red Emperor with salsa verde (olive oil, lemon parsely and a bit of garlic)
Good luck

Mmmmm....Yes little by little methinks. I had a boiled egg y'day so I'm starting. My ex has been vegan for years too (a supposedly good vegan diet)..he had a blood test & was told his B12 was the lowest the Dr. had seen for 15 years & gave him a shot immed'ly & told him to eat some fish/flesh &/or dairy & keep doing so. Bizarre that we were both given the same advise seperately. I'm off for a blood test too now. Be interesting.
Quite funny as been here for years & about to move back to Uk but tomorrow I'm going to the fishmongers with nooooo idea so will look for the whiting..oh & salsa verde is yum yum
cheers

Re: Quorn
I stopped using Quorn a few years ago when I found out that they use battery farmed eggs 
When I spoke to them they used the age old excuse that they couldn't source enough free range eggs ( although I'm sure with their profits they could have started their own free range farm ).

They now use free range eggs
Well that's what its says on their packaging! Hope they are not telling us fibs about that
