TerraMadreFoundation asks:Soybeans Equal Protien--At What Cost?

tofu TMF?

Can't think of a single food more vile to be honest.. horrible squidgey jelly like substance a nondescript brown colour.... WHY????

Soya is apparently now being found to be not all that good for you in large doses either...

think i'll stick with dead cow...

but what is our choice? Either we destroy animals for our food, or we destroy plants. We have to eat to live.

When food isn't an involved factor! We have indeed ingested Tofo, in several different flavors, and have yet to send the recipes back home to Mamma---

the mind boggles at what you might mean...

those boring beige cubes of 'stuff' though.... instant turn off...

then your body will tell you what to eat. assuming you are not single type oriented consumer (aka omnivore) then you may find yourself devouring that fish's skin which you usually discard, if you are low on certain vital elements and vitamins. tofu or whatever... you may add salt and spices but you cannot add appetite to what you eat; because ultimately your body dictates that.

and one more thing: don't impose strict diets on yourself whether it be vegeterianism or carnivorism.

been reading that fofu and other soy products are not as healthy as they are telling us, and could even be harmful. What up with that?

it's not just me with doubts about tofu.. i must do some research on Soya... sounds like it might be intere3sting...

Finally you have to eat SOMETHING whether tofu or cottage cheese, ham or Pizza, I would just make sure I eat as much I need and waste nothing
Atleast that way I am making a miniscule contribution to saving whatever I am eating

induldging too much on something be it soy bean, tofu sweets pineapples or whatever is bad... heathiness is in a diverse diet

What kind of world has created humans who don't understand the life cycle or propose not eating altogether and call attaining sustenance "murder"?

I think it is time to set aside the ideal and look at life as it is. Eeryone has to kill to eat, either themselves by purchasing prepackaged, slaughtered cattle or by cutting and uprooting fruits and vegetables.

when i see a poor murdered carrot..

I can see a new campaign starting.. 'Save The Carrots' 'Carrots are People too'

As Sagemother says you can take the extreme to ever wider and more ridiculous limits. I am an omnivore.. we were all made that way, whether by 'God' or illegal aliens (Von Daniken stylee) and while 'they' were at it, put lots of tasty things on four legs, on trees, in the earth for us to discover and eat.
