I don't think they have it in for Quorn per se. Quorn is just the latest scapegoat that Michael Jacobson has trotted out to get his name and face in the media. If it weren't Quorn it'd be something else (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Center for Science in the Public Interest warns that children who consume nothing but Pez candy and wax lips may suffer from nutritional deficiencies, and urges a recall of these dangerous 'fake foods').

It's interesting to browse their site and try to figure out just who these people are. Other than Jacobson, I don't see ANY names, nor do I see any qualifications for Jacobson himself.

Going by other sources, he apparently has a PhD (in some unspecified area, from some unspecified university) and refers to himself as Dr. Jacobson.

CSPI claims 800,000 subscribers for its "Nutrition Action Healthletter"(at fifteen bucks a pop!).

I think I'm in the wrong line of work. Maybe I'll start issuing press releases about the dangers of running with scissors or sticking forks into electrical outlets and see how many subscribers *I* can scare up.
