    I don’t like tofu. I like other meat substitutes but idk tofu is not the greatest comparison to meat in my opinion

      I always find the comparison between tofu and meat a bit unfair, as it wasn’t invented for that purpose. In many asian cultures it is simply a thing in its own right, only we in the West have popularized it as a meat substitute and I don’t think that does tofu justice.

      other meat substitutes

      Tofu is not a meat substitute. Tofu is just tofu, unless someone specifically picks it as a substitute for meat and sticks to it, in which case I guess it’s their personal substitute for meat.

        Correct, however I believe it has been commonly accepted as a such because of its protein content… just clarifying what I think people mean here
