I always love tofu and other meat substitutes for taste and health reasons.

I love tofu :D
I know people who can't stand it but i got used to it.
I didn't like it at first but now i almost always have it in the fridge. It's a great snack, also..

Tofu should be eaten in moderation. The problem with America is that tofu (and soy in general) is marketed as the end-all secret of the "East" and that everyone should do all but inject themselves with it to get some of the Eastern magic.

In truth, tofu should be eaten in moderation like any other food because it contains a phyto-estrogen (a limited form of the female-centric hormone). While not necessarily detrimental to anyone, in excessive amounts, phytoestrogen can emulate estrogen itself.

check out the big brains on dan. i admire this kind of life respecting knowledge in people. and yeah, soy should be eaten in moderation. in case you feel a craving for something hunger blocking and salty, eat nuts.

I love tofu too. I have a hard time making it at home and liking it though. There are a couple recipes I really like. My favorite is tempura tofu with veggie stir fry...mmmm

I tried eating tofu once. Didn't like the texture of it in my mouth. Was like eating pork fat!

i like tofu, but im not always in the mood for it. i love using avocado as a main ingredient in my vegetarian dishes. i prefer it in chunks when its ripe but still pretty firm, i don't like the mush unless its guacamole! www.avocadofiesta.com has some good recipe ideas.

I like tofu in a stir fry, but it has to be the extra firm type. I've also pressed it into shapes, breadeed and baked it like parm...
