The anti-soy stuff is 100% a psyop by the meat industry. (hexbear.net)

Complaining about tofu being bland is the equivalent of saying that a blank canvas is boring.

Saying you hate tofu is such a self own. It is one of and maybe the most versatile food of all time. It is cheap. It's macros are at parity with chicken breast. It keeps well AND is much safer (food safety and healthwise) than meat.

I can confirm as someone going from eating meat with every meal to vegan, basic ass fried tofu tastes better than most restaurant meat these days.

What is even wilder is that the US grows a lot of soybeans, and the ideal target for MAGA would probably be a soybean farmer.

The vast majority of that soy is for cattle feed, not human consumption. American soy farmers are an essential node of the beef industry.

Even wilder. Soy could be the primary protein for most people and be better quality than what they eat now.

Oh, you care about energy efficiency? How many steps between the sun and your meal? Checkmate, bloodmouths. :im-vegan:

And that soy actually tastes awful. I explicitly try to find non American soy for consumption
