how does tofu compare to meat?
i do eat tofu as a meat alternative, mostly in veggie burgers and those types of foods, though i don't eat a lot of it. in comparison to meat, tofu and other soy foods have a number of health benefits. firstly, there are the benefits, some of which i noted in a previous post, such as no cholesterol, contain fibre, reduced risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. secondly, soy foods are low in saturated fat and lower in fat than most meat products. thirdly, you don't need to worry about contamination and getting sick from yucky stuff like that.

You know what's fascinating? Japanese pack in the Tofu, but they also pack in the meat. In fact, it's often in the same meal.
