or we'll have to start calling you 'Girly-Gary'. The 'science' of tofu is pretty shaky. Asian cultures historically didn't use soybeans except basically, as a condiment. Soybeans are pure and simple toxic and there's a huge body of evidence to prove so. You want to be a girly-man? Ok, eat tofu. ;-P Lots and lots of tofu. I've been worried for years about the presence of phytoestrogens from soybean production in our wetlands (thinking the southeast, specifically. These phytoestrogens are known to cause mutation in the se xual development of wildlife species. You wanna eat that??? lol
I'll get off my soapbox about this stuff, but suffice it to say that, while occasionally eating soysauce or Edame or miso probably won't hurt you, I wouldn't make soy (especially heavily processed crap like tofu that's no better than fast-food for your health) a major part of anyone's diet. There's a huge body of scientific evidence that has developed, showing the negatives of soy.
Don't go to the dark side!!!! Eat meat. Eat meat. Eat meat. It's what's good for ya. In any case, don't eat tofu. If you really wanted to go vege, you can do so without soybean products.
