I get your point, but comeon, my dude. The way you said it makes you sound like an out of touch vegan. Which I’m not against but I need protein to survive. So until lab grown meat becomes a thing – or food scientists figure out a way to make beans taste good (can’t stand them) – I’m going to have to continue eating meat.
Tofu has all the essencial amino acids (the building blocks of proteins our bodies use to build new protines). Essencial meaning that they are the ones which our bodies cannot produce itself.
Tofu has more protein per gram that all animal meats.
You should try it, if its well cooked (like in most asian places or vegetarian restaurants), it is very tasty. And you will probably get used to it like every taste anyways.
One omnivore to another, try making beans this way. Get a regular sized can of beans (I usually use black beans) and drain out the liquid. You can use a colander or just pop open the lid a bit and put it upside down in the sink. Sautee half an onion diced up (or a whole onion if you really like them) in a splash of olive oil. Once it’s soft and getting a bit translucent chop up a clove or two of garlic and a chipotle pepper (get a small can of them in adobo sauce). Add them in and stir until you get some fragrance off them. From there add the beans and stir everything together right away until the onion is mixed in (and garlic with, don’t want to let the garlic burn). From there you can add in salt, pepper, and cumin. I also like to add oregano and if you’re feeling it you can add garlic powder and/or chili powder. From there you add some tomato sauce. For a standard size can I’ll usually use half. Basically add it to taste and feel since it tempers the spice and also makes it so the dish isn’t dry. From there I stir it all together and let the tomato sauce reduce stirring occasionally until I think it looks done or I’m hungry.
I love me a steak, but combined with some rice cooked with some sazon Goya I can live off these beans.

That line of thinking is what causes the terrible situation that occurred in your comment.

I like edamame as much as the next guy, but it will never replace bacon, no matter how charming the pig.

Ironic says the person who is completely out touch with the conditions farm animals are forced to live in.

This is why I come to Lemmy, for bean recipes nested 6 comment levels down.

I get your point but what an obtuse comment to make.
