Where does the author live that they think the “prevailing food paradigm” is vegan?

I'm really not sure what's supposed to be so bad about quorn. Yeah, it's a fungus. So what? We eat lots of different kinds of fungi. Mushrooms, obviously. Yeast. The mold on various types of cheese. Asian comestibles like sake, soy sauce, tempeh...miso. The list goes on. I agree that it shouldn't be marketed as a "plant food" -- fungi are not plants. They're their own kingdom entirely.

> I agree that it shouldn't be marketed as a "plant food" It isn't, though. It's only this article's author that harps on and on about plants. > fungi are not plants. Exactly.
