Tofu is the winner. Scientist creates new holistic scoring system to measure the impact of food (phys.org)

In a paper published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Dr. Chris Macdonald explored the best sources of protein currently available.

To answer the question, Macdonald had to build a new holistic scoring system that combines measures of environmental impact, health, affordability and availability into a single framework.

Applying the scoring system to 20 commonly consumed protein-rich foods, the analysis found a striking pattern: every product in the highest-scoring quintile was plant-based, while every product in the lowest-scoring quintile was animal-based. Tofu ranked first overall, while cheddar cheese ranked last.

The paper argues that many existing food rating systems focus on only one aspect of a product. While useful, these single-dimension labels can obscure important trade-offs and make it difficult to compare foods comprehensively.

              1-2 packs of plain tofu, drained, cubed (about 200-400g)
add to a pan and fry it a little until it shrinks in size and gets a little golden from all sides
add soy sauce until it's all coated and let it simmer and absorb the soy sauce a little
add a sweetener of your choice (agave syrup is the one I use), a good squeeze from the bottle is good
paprika powder
maybe MSG if you like the taste
salt a little if you don't like MSG
serve :)
