ToFu

So as of late I've been on a healthy eating binge of sorts. I've replaced my cookies and chewey bars with wheat germ and oatmeal, I've stopped eating bleach white bread which has been cut (pun intended) for flax seed bread, and finally I've taken it upon myself to give Tofu a chance.

I've been hearing a lot about tofu recently, both good and bad things. "It's so healthy for you!" people have exclaimed, and that's very true. It is the only plant based product that provides the same 21 essential amino acids that eating meat provides. I've also been told that it tastes like cardboard/nothing, and that it has the consistency of rubber. Well, after hearing these different theories in regards to tofu, I decided never to eat it. A couple of days later I was the proud owner of my first package of tofu. I didn't know exactly what to do with it at first but after looking up a few recipes there was a clear-cut leader, Fried Rice with Tofu and Vegetables! After having prepared, cooked, and eaten it I can easily say that tofu is not bad at all, and that it definately has the consistency of rubber.
