So tofu is basically just cheese made from soy milk. What's the big deal?

It's versatile and vegan.

>> No.12929125

It's just an ordinary ingredient. Vegans make a big deal out of it because they treat diet like a religion and alt-right autists make a big deal out of it because they hate vegans.
But traditional cultures where tofu is normally eaten just eat it as part of their regular diet along side meat and fish. It's also worth noting that many Asian cultures didn't traditionally eat cheese, so tofu was more important to them.

It's fine if you just treat it like another ingredient, but saying it can completely replace cheese/meat/eggs is silly. Most people don't want to give those things up. Being afraid of it is just as silly though.

Good by itself, manny different types, byproducts are useful too which is the trait of a good preparation with lots of history.
My problem is not with tofu but with vegans. I dislike all attempts of “fake-stuff”. If the complete and versatile use of an ingridient and all it’s byproducts proves history then an ingridient being used as a subst for other things proves the opposite, which is stealing all merit from tofu due to your childish need of having “All the X but without the Y!”.
Tofu burgers make as much sense as Mapo Steak

It also comes in a sauce packet. Tofu also doesn't have estrogen because it's fermented. I'll make fun of sb all day but tofu isn't bad for you.

Soy isn't harmful, this is facebook mom tier crap spewed from altright autists that are insecure about their masculinity.

Stop eating tofu and you might become normal.

>> No.12930948

Tofu tastes like utter dog shit. In all recipes, the entire flavor comes from spices and sauces to cover up the tofu blandness. Might as well cook a nice piece of juicy meat.

What's with you autists and meat? You should eat red meat twice a week at most, the amount most Americans eat is harmful. You seem to be obsessed with meat.
