[Gamma]

dem season to taste like pork sometimes ... it come een like mystique from the x-men movies....only less sexy!!!

[Sickko]

Actually yes, took a decision long time now that rather than eat just to full belly, everything that goes in my mouth must have some value, or I just go without food- wont kill me.

[Sickko]

Thats interesting, cause the Rastas (Like Mo) eat the Tofu as they say it is 'natural' but if it has a pork flavor then...

Tofu Nutrition Facts
Tofu is rich in high-quality protein. It is also a good source of B-vitamins and iron. When the curdling agent used to make tofu is calcium salt, the tofu is an excellent source of calcium. While 50 percent of the calories in tofu come from fat, a 4-ounce serving of tofu contains just 6 grams of fat. It is low in saturated fat and contains no cholesterol. Generally, the softer the tofu, the lower the fat content. Tofu is also very low in sodium, making it a perfect food for people on sodium-restricted diets.

Do you know that Tofu has NO nutritional value whatsoever? Check it out.

Sickko, stick to what you know. Tofu has good nutritional value. Check the attachment from "Ask The Dietician".

I have tofu from time to time as I do not do meats like most folks. Not a full fledged vegeterian because I do eat poltry and fish, but I have not had other meats for close to 25 years. I know tofu is high in protein among other nutrients. If you mean it is not high in carbohydrates, then you are correct. Carbohydrate is not the only nutritional value in foods however.

[Mosiah]

Cho, unnu have time fi waste. Tofu is the same as soy. Need I say more.

[Assasin]

Whe you say might as well them come a Boston a Portland with mi and get the special whe lean and nuh have too much fat?

[Tilla]

I was going to leave it alone, but hate to see when someone speaks with such conviction from a platform of ignorance. I had to step in and set the records straignt so others are not misled. . .

[Mosiah]

True. I was on another wavelength but nobody was biting.

The other thing is, I believe most tofu know exactly why they eat it and are appreciative of its many benefits. Sickko's post didn't make tofu eaters change their diet. It may have had others change their minds about trying it.
