The Future of Food.......

[EricMM]

I've had some fine tofu dishes.

 

I don't see why people are against it as a protein source. Are you against eggs too? Cheese?

 

Tofu doesn't taste like much honestly, and I definitely won't eat it plain, just a blob of protein, but lightly fried in some good sauce? It's excellent and very healthy. So what's the problem?

Sometimes when I go to mongolian BBQ, I put tofu in the dish. When it is cooked up with seasoning and noodles and stuff, it can be decent enough.

Tempeh is the shiznite.

 

And Vyce, I know, I know, "meat good!" but the main problem with world nutrition is lack of protein, not lack of sufficient calories. It is much more efficient for a poor third world farmer to produce soy protein than animal protein. The cost to produce 10 g of soy protein would be considerably less than that of producing 10 g of animal protein. When you are hungry, it is much more logical to produce a vegetable protein than an animal protein. Plus they don't come with the side effect of ingesting animal fats.

 

I only eat lean meats (chicken, fish, lean cuts of beef), dairy, and vegetables for my protein and I stay very healthy, never get sick, am a competetive runner, and have added 15 lbs. of muscle to my wiry frame within the past 14 months.

What I laugh at is people who think I'm crazy when I talk about making Mapo Tofu and I mention there's ground pork or beef in the dish. So many people think that the only way to use tofu is the north american style of using it as a meat replacement in nonsense like hot dogs and so on. The idea that it is used in asian cuisine like any other ingredient is just unfathomable to some. Tofu is a great ingredient if it's used properly.

You guys can hate on soy all you want, but it's a good, cheap, efficient source of protein and could be a key component in improving nutrition worldwide.

I completely disagree. The one time I ate it I got sicker than when I had food poisoning. It was just awful and it messed my stomach up for weeks afterwards.

they seemed more interested in finding the dumbest and youngest fools in the entire march to go after and make look stupid, which is a rather simply tactic to make your own argument look stronger.

Don't you think you're an extraordinary case in this situation? I'm not a huge proponent of soy, but either you're allergic, or it was something else. I ate a burger once, and was evacuating from both ends, I'm not going to say that beef's the devil. It's delicious.

This had nothing to do with what I said.

 

When I said "good" I meant nutrition-wise (which is more important), not necessarily taste-wise.

White Castle has always had the same effect on me.

White Castle has that effect on about everyone.
