Most Quorn products are not vegan

But many are (and they are the ones we buy of course).

and the vegan ones aren't
particulary nice,

We find them fine, especially compared with something that requires a
chicken to have it's life taken by being gassed / electrocuted and
having it's head cut off. We just don't see animals as food or a
product to be exploited.

Fungi are alive too!

Alive but not sentient.

Their fruiting bodies don't want to be eaten.

Luckily they don't feel pain ... that would be a sad trick to play on
something eh, make them feel pain but not give them the means to move
away from it.

Many have spectacularly effective toxins in to discourage browsers.

Oh yes, there are some real clever things going on in nature.

Some of the most toxic taste really good which can be misleading.

I'll take your word for that. ;-)
