Tofu!

 

Tofu is a food.  It is a delicious and nutritious food. 

Tofu is essentially a white soy bean curd.  It has a fun, squishy texture and is usually cut into small cubes. 

Tofu is meatless, and is marketed as a meat-replacement product for vegetarians.  And it is true that Tofu's cow-friendly ingredients form the basis of its appeal. But tofu does not taste like meat, does not serve the same functions as meat in a meal, and has enough of its own merits and attractions to lure even the most devoted carnivores.  

Some people do not like tofu.  These people say that tofu has no flavor.  These people are ignorant and beastly.  For while tofu does not taste like much on its own, its value lies in its versatility - it can be cooked, seasoned, and mixed to form a rich, delicious, and enjoyable center of almost any meal.   

Furthermore, tofu is like, so good for you.  Tofu contains ample quantities of protein, calcium and iron, all of which are things you really should be getting more of.  It also has almost no cholesterol and a surprisingly slim caloric content, making it both good and good for you. Have some tofu today!
