A little famine and economic distress is a small price to pay for ridding the world of tofu.

Maybe we should import gorillas who will eat all the plataspids.

It is pea-sized and brownish in color with a wide posterior

Sounds like Oprah.
Except for the pea-sized bit.

Soy milk may give you moobs, but what about soy sauce, miso soup, edamame and artificial bacon bits? TVPFTW

Soy is a cash crop because it's used to replace the nitrogen that corn takes out of the soil. The health benefits of soy are directly related to price of corn. Continuing to subsidize corn and burning it as an inefficient "green" fuel will only further turn the nation... nay, the world... into a bunch of metrosexual effeminate pansies.

Tofu can be edible if it is cooked by a very skilled cook in the Chinese style.

But really, is it worth the trouble? Hell, the first meat substitute, bread, is still the best.

This is good. It will only hurt the kulaks who are working counter to the interests of the peace-loving proletariat.

Doesn't even have to be a skilled Chinese chef, all ya have to do is squeeze the water out of some extra-firm tofu slice it and soak it in the sauce of your liking, and fry that sucker up.

I suppose none of you like sugar snap or snow peas, or some roasted peanuts at a sporting event either. Those are all legumes, which this critter also eats.

Yeah, and enjoy the taste of the sauce.

(had tofu last night in my chicken laksa. All it did was provide texture and help to fill me. More chicken would have done the same)

Yeah and skinless chicken breasts are almost the price of tofu now.

Try some Ma Po Tofu. You'll be converted. Chewy ground pork contrasting with silken tofu in a spicy sauce with tree ear fungus.
Yummy

Sad. He was killed a few years ago in a car ceash.

Nice man but more than a little full of himself after the Puilitzer.

Created some nice stuff with the Red Clay Ramblers.

"Home" is worth a listen.
