I do not only enjoy this quote but can relate to it a great deal. I have been raised a vegetarian/animal lover since birth. For twenty years, I have ravished the underrated bliss which is tofu. Many people insult tofu instantly at the mention of its name. The name is in fact, despite its popular Japanese usage of the product, comes from both European and Japanese origins (167).
Tofu ,like mankind, can be easily stereotyped or misjudged by appearance alone. A lot of people tend to correlate tofu as "hippie food" for it is natural and a raw substance and is entirely vegan. Other people commonly call tofu tasteless. Although tofu does indeed have no taste on its own, it does not mean ,however, tofu never has a taste to it. In fact, it is not uncommon to mix with other food such as pasta, soups, rice, vegetable, etc. In my own experience, I enjoy mixing tofu with practically anything imaginable. I like to add tofu because of the following reasons: 1) it's healthy 2) it adds more to the meal 3) it's delicious. While adding things like salt or pepper to the meal may taste better to some, for me, it will always be tofu instead. Due to its natural tastelessness, it absorbs any flavor that I am eating with thus, it makes the meal for more filling and plentiful. In addition, I cannot get over the fact at how healthy tofu really is. There are so many things in the world that sure makes a meal great but the healthy factor is very bare in most cases. With tofu, you never have to feel guilty with pleasure. Tofu is amazing and definitely more than meets the eye, so please look closer next time at this underrated joy.
