Quorn is NOT turning everything vegan
Much excitement was generated a few days ago when it was reported that Quorn was set to switch its entire product range from vegetarian to vegan.
Well, it appears our excitement was severely premature.
Quorn have released the following statement in regards to our plant-based hysteria:
That’s a bit of a let down.
You can still sign the petition asking Quorn to turn their products vegan.
This is a systemic problem with the “vegan” community. Not only are most people who self-identify as vegans still holding on to some non-Vegan notions (speciesism/veganism-as-merely-a-diet, etc.) but they are too quick to grasp at any straw that seems to purport a furtherance of the Vegan end goal.
This is a perfect example though, of why it’s much better and morally justifiable, instead of signing a petition that may or may not achieve it’s desired effect, to engage in educating the people in charge of a company on Veganism itself. This WILL eventually have the desired effect of creating a Vegan world, once enough people have been educated.
If you need help learning how to educate people properly, I’ve written extensively on the subject here:

Why worry about Quorn? Try our products instead – we are 100% vegan, always have been and always will be. Real ingredients and real flavour. http://www.morethanmeat.co.uk
I have t wonder why they are stuck on potato protein as the egg replacer. Chickpea protein isn’t expensive, is it? I imagine this is all about finding a suitable CHEAP replacement for the cruelty-based egg white. Chickpeas are cheap and plentiful.
