A little bit of Googling...

Checking my stats showed me someone had visited me after finding me ninth on Google under the search Quorn Burger. 10th position however was taken by a page detailing the victims of Quorn poisoning. It turned out to ba a page of anecdotal accounts of how some people are allergic to Quorn - the allergic reaction being short term bouts of vomiting. As a result this 'organisation', the Centre for Science in the Public Interest wants Quorn banned as unsafe.

Er, hello? I am allergic to cats. Is this Canadian crackpot organisation going to support my campaign to eradicate felines of all kinds (apart from George and Giles' lovely pet Ptolemy of course).

Some more googling led me to this statement from the Food Standards Agency:

Given this level of intolerance and the fact that some 137 million units of this product were consumed by 13 million people in 2000 alone it is not really surprising that you have been able to find people who appear to be intolerant to it.

The worrying thing is how easy it is for CPSI to look official when they're not. Actually looking through what they say quickly makes you realise they're a bunch of morons however, and thankfully there is an anti-CPSI website to drive home the point. It's run by 'a coalition of more than 30,000 restaurant and tavern operators'. Biased? No more than the CPSI, Quorn, The FSA or me.

In brief: if it makes you vomit, stop fucking eating it.
