i used to eat quorn until i read something about it which purported it was dogshit for health. Stuff like this is very cool scientifically - but - cherrypicking stuff and ramming it into a fungus "because meat" doesnt fill me with confidence that this is healthy to eat at all. What it does scream is - selling plant based foods because they will sell to meat eaters. Actual health outcomes be damned. Is this stuff going to be tested for a decade before its deemed safe to eat?

I mean, you can find negative health claims, albeit often of dubious value, for _literally anything_, so, absent more context, I wouldn't take that at all seriously. > Stuff like this is very cool scientifically - but - cherrypicking stuff and ramming it into a fungus "because meat" doesnt fill me with confidence that this is healthy to eat at all. That isn't what quorn was; it's not genetically modified (given that it's from the _early 60s_, it'd be a very good trick if it was).
