Lol shitting on people for eating what they want to eat

It's pretty clear that Arby's is harmlessly joking but vegans gonna rage as always. the lack of meat in their diets must make them angry so I don't necessarily blame them. they probably dream of burgers.

Lol.

But tofu actually is good. Yall goobies need to try mapo tofu, or fried tofu.

Idk man. The fact it needs to be deep fried or smothered in a strong sauce doesn't really lend much to it.

Tofu isnt something you eat for taste, but texture. It takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in/with.

Its got a firm, yet spongey texture thats nice to bite into and melts in your mouth. The fried varieties even more so.

It pairs really nice with rice or noodles. And is great in curry

Not at all but your post is the face of bias against veganism.

I've eaten and cooked with tofu many times, I'm well aware of the culinary applications it has. Personally i find the texture is anything but the firmest of tofu awful and inferior to most starches like potato or tapioca or cassava. Starch aside, it's also not even remotely close to poultry meat texture, which is what most vegetarians tend to use it as a substitute for.

If you want to substitute it or use it in dishes, then go for it. But don't act like it's good. Unless you were raised on it (as many Asian people are) it is incredibly unpalatable compared to most other foodstuffs.

(Also if you are in fact Asian and were raised on it, ignore this and I 100% understand.)

But...HAM is an acronym and Tofu isnt. >_>

Arby's is a piece of shit company anyways. Most people that hate on vegans only do it over stereotypes and are immensely uneducated in why it's wrong to eat animals and what vegans actually eat. There is a alternative for just about any animal product now on the vegan market making it extremely easy to drop the fake animal food. People lack the knowledge big time and it's quite sad since it's becoming more accepted.

The ones that go, HURR DURR I LIKE EATING BABIES AND meat look like immature children trying to be funny.

BTW tofu tastes amazing if you know the ways to cook with it. You wouldn't eat your animal uncooked would you? No and neither should you eat tofu raw.

Arby's has done a fantastic job doubling down on the fedora memer demographic that still yells bacon. It was their only shot to turn the company around since no one else would eat their food.

so is it your personal opinion or are you telling us that you're right? i think it's good. it's not an act.

Vegans have higher testosterone, perhaps that causes the rage.

why it's wrong to eat animals

It isn't. I thought vegans want everyone to respect each other's eating choices?

Personally I don't eat red meat because of the environmental impact and health risks, so you're preaching to the choir on that one.
But let's not pretend like soy is innocent since it's legit one of the most offensive farmed vegetables from a conservational impact deeper being heralded as the answer to all your protein needs by most vegetarians. It's not as bad, but it's pretty close to having as negative of an effect on the environment as cattle production for meat.

IMO if you actually do care about the environment (which plenty of vegans say they do but really don't) poultry and fish are probably the most sustainable diet cornerstones.

Ham wasn't originally an acronym. Kanye and Jay-Z made that shit up.

Now this is a topic I can get behind!

Most of that soy is feed for cattle.

Tofu is good, tho.

Only if it is properly cooked. Which many people fail to do so.
