How healthy IS quorn?!


Question: Quorn is quite healthy and serves as a good source of protein. It is low in fat and many non-vegetarians use it instead of meat in some dishes if they are trying to lose weight.

I don't think Quorn is teste don animals. If it is, then why has it been approved by the Vegetarian Society and carries the logo on it's packaging?

Very, low fat alternative to meat ~ however beware as Quorn was tested on animals ~so not veggie friendly

its very low fat and it tastes just like meat, whats wrong with it???

but it is expensive

Most vegetables are given nutrients in a field from fertilisers made from the poo of animals condemned to the abbotoir. You may as well beat the steak down you, instead of trying to find a loop-hole from your own guilt.

Quorn is the myeclium of mushrooms (spawn/propagator) that is grown in a vat. Now if you are allergic to mushrooms, you might be to this.
Several people in Europe have gotten very sick over this. They have tried to get it taken off the shelf, but it wasn't successful here in the United States.
It has egg whites in it to bind it together, so some animal by-products are used and thus not vegan.
It could be healthy for you if you do NOT bloat in the lower abs as it reaches your intestines, or if you have an immediate reaction with an upset stomach.

Healthy? It a fungus grown in huge vats and marketed to be similar to a natural mushroom-NOT even close! A mushroom grows naturally in the wild. Quorn is manufactured using chemicals that coagulate into a fungal matter, then its seasoned and formed into meat substitutes. YUCK! No thanks.....there are plenty of other yummy things that are still just as mother nature intended them to be. I will stick with those.

It is really low in fat and does not contain any veins or traces of fecal matter like meat does.

Quorn is not made of mushrooms. It's made from something more similar to mold. Mmmmmmmmmmmm, yummy.
