Hey! I've been hearing some different things about tofu, if it's actually healthy or not.. but I've always thought that tofu was pretty healthy. What's your take on it?

Hello! I think there is forever going to be a debate of whether tofu is healthy for you or not, but, it is also no different then the on-going argument of whether read meat is healthy or harmful. Unfortunately for us, its really hard to get a good idea of who’s argument is correct. I have a really hard time trusting most of the articles I read saying that tofu is 100% terrible, given the competition between industries. 

I think if you’re completely depending on tofu for your entire protein intake (eating it all the time in large quantities) it CAN begin to wear on your health, no different then real meat (or anything for that matter) However I believe eating it in smaller, controlled portions, can actually be quite beneficial. 

 So, given that the debate will not subside anytime soon, I simply compromise and eat tofu in smaller portions. The best part about being a vegetarian/vegan is the fact that you can get so creative with meals. Tofu can be a delicious entree’ or the perfect centre piece for a main course meal. OR try getting a little crazy and create a few meals without the use of tofu at all! 

I hope that answered your question! If you have anymore I would love to try my best to answer them :)
