Please read this if you eat “Quorn”!

For vegetarians out there that eat the chicken substitute Quorn please read this article:

Fake Fungal “Chik’n” Causes Anaphylaxis, Severe Vomiting, Hives

CSPI, or The Center for Science in the Public Interest, is a great non-profit that helps protect consumers from products that are misrepresented, or can potentially cause side effects that aren’t disclosed.  

They’re the ones responsible for exposing all the bad fat and calories in movie theater popcorn!  They call advertisers on all the misrepresentation that we see on packaged foods.  Like a “fruit filled” poptart that has 3 actual blueberries in it, yet is packaged in a box with lots of fruit in the photo.

If you want to support them I recommend subscribing to their newsletter!
