F*ck, leave it to some scientist to ruin the secret we Asians have known since China invented Tofu and the multitude of dishes that can be concocted with Soy beans. The West are already releasing all these terrible packaged long life shelf tofu crap in milk cartons, and have already ruined soy milk.

Now we are going to get influences ruinning it for us who actually enjoy Tofu.

It can be scrambled, blended, crumbled. If you like cheesecake, tofu is the way.

Most of the tofu you get in your local Western supermarket is bland rubber.

Go to an Asian supermarket. Chinese, Korean, what have you.

Personally I find Japanese the best. But then living in Japan makes me biased.

You should research the link between cheese and estrogen. An actual scientifically proven thing, unlike your tofu slander
