I am a fan of coffee
I enjoy coffee. It is a delicious, zero-calorie, herbal beverage with known stimulant effects and many health benefits, taken in moderation.
It is also made from the souls of the damned:
Delicious, delicious souls.

Warning: May cause an allergic reation
It seems that there are foods out there which some people may be allergic to. Go figure.
If this had been somebody suing over a strawberry allergy when they ate a strawberry shortcake, they would simply be laughed out of court, right? I see this as no difference. Also, I have to take issue with Consumerist trying to characterize it as some sort of mad science experiment being foisted on an unknowing public; just because Quorn is “grown in a vat” doesn’t make it any more evil than any other cultivated product, and just because it’s a fungus doesn’t make it worse than mushrooms (which are also a fungus).
Maybe we could solve this by requiring that every food, everywhere, have a label on it saying “WARNING: may cause allergies” and “WARNING: food comes from places that aren’t the grocery store.”
