HERE'S WHAT I THINK

 

So there's this weird Bacon vs. Tofu debate thing going on these days. Which is the better protein? Which is more environmentally conscious? Which is the sign of a sophisticated palate, which is not?

It's not really about the food itself... these are just easy symbols to represent some cultural and culinary stereotypes.

One the one hand there's tofu, which stands up for vegetarians and healthy eating everywhere. When most people think tofu, they automatically think things like "strict diets, liberals, hippies, vegan, meatfree living, PETA activists, treehuggers."

On the other there's bacon, the sizzling porkfat symbol for meatlover. If you eat bacon, most people assume you're an unhealthy Irish or British beer-drinking carnivore with no regard to an animal's rights or to healthy eating and living.

I told you, both are stereotypes. And maybe that's why the tofu vs. bacon debate can be so fun...and so heated.

But I'm offering myself up as The Great TofuBacon Diplomat.

Why? Because I'm a meateater and a baconlover, yes. And I'm the furthest thing from a vegetarian possible. BUT I love tofu, I am a very healthy eater, I'm more of a treehugger than most vegetarians I know. And I think Tofu and Bacon people can live and work together just fine -- and could even be on the same menu.

Tofu or Bacon?

Tofu, of course

PiDJoNG says:

RyanRE - fry bacon frist, then fry your tofu... the tofu should keep the bacon flavor , oh yeah!

cc says:

Tofu is health, delicious and best of al it can't be wrongfully treated or killed inhumanely -- it was never a pig.

Mirele says:

Or, they think "Asian" when you say tofu. But honestly, I love tofu. Any kind of tofu. (Except maybe stinky tofu, which I have heard about but never tried.) Also, I keep kosher, so no bacon for me. As for fake-bacon, even that is sometimes too greasy -- my stomach can't handle that much fat.

says:

Tofu and meat alternatives have come soooo far in the last ten years. The stuff is great. But, of course I'm a nut. So, maybe it's just me "believing" it tastes good. Also, not only am I a nut,i love eating nuts. I love peanut butter. I mix in so many things.(hey could be a lens topic) Anyway, I go meatless when possible. It's healthy, I'm not contributing to any harm of animals and it's a way to compensate for my lack of recycling and using paper towels like crazy.

Doncarlin says:

Bacon made me fat; tofu helped me drop 80 pounds, thats good enough for me...

MrLewisSmile says:

We vegetarians would win in a running race, too :)

famousmortimer says:

At its base bacon tastes better than Tofu. But, you can only do so much with it. Bacon tastes like bacon no matter what. Tofu, on the other hand, can be flavored into whatever you want it to. In fact, you can make tofu that tastes like bacon.

Because of this fact the edge goes to tofu. Don't get me wrong, I love me some bacon, but as an ingredient to work with when cooking I'll go tofu every time, because of how much I can do with it.

says:

Tofu all the way. Go vegetarians go!

says:

Tofu definately. Have been a vegetarian all my life and I just can't stand seeing people eating dead animals. So gross!

says:

I too have been a vegetarian all my life so definately tofu. I just can't stand the sight of people eating dead animals

RyanRE says:

Okay.... I have changed my mind and I want to ride the tofu wave. Is there any way that I can eat bacon flavored tofu?

Ben says:

Tofu rocks (once you stop expecting your food to taste good).

SivartM says:

I eat tofu because I've been a vegetarian all my life and I think bacon is gross.

Joey Atwater says:

Humans are designed for Vegtables. The long gut (intestines) denote this to be as it extracts the nutrients from vegtables. When you eat bacon the toxins from killed meat and the processing stays in the gut longer and can cause IBS and other ingestion problems. Meat was designed to quickly digest and be removed from the body so that these toxins and the like are removed quickly. But this can only be in the carnivore families such as dogs, cats, lions or any flesh eating animal. Only vegie and leafy eaters have long intestines such as humans to extract all the healthy nutrients. Look at your mortality rates and see who really has the most gut problems. You will always find meat eaters carry the greater risks. Live long and live a balanced diet, some meats are good it thoroughly chewed and digested and Pork is definately off the menu. It has very high fat content and replicates the human organs in length and process. It the next closet animal to human flesh.Think about it...ask someone who has eaten human flesh..there is little distinction between the two. (Survivors of the Chilean plane disaster)After all its your gut.

Tiddledeewinks says:

Pigs are for pets. The fat clogs arteries. Morning Star Farms makes a bacon substitute that was called "stripples", and goes with eggs for breakfast or put in BLT's. You can cook it up crunchy, but it is a little too salty for me. Loma Linda makes canned meat substitutes that resembles chicken, steak, hamberguers, etc. that is really delicious! You can get them at any Seventh-Day-Adventist bookstore.

happy-jack says:

Eat Tofu and live longer.

Reg_Brittain says:

No, wait! Tofu!

Can't decide, so I eat both.

CheekyChimp says:

Tofu can taste like anything you marinate it with and nothing has to die! Like the Gray wolves that were recently taken off the endangered species list! Please help check this out
http://www.squidoo.com/
savethegreywolves Check the links and email some one in D.C. and tell them to stop the slaughter. Please help. Relevant because Washington is full of Bacon!!

spirituality says:

I'm a vegetarian, but I hardly eat tofu. Still, since I don't eat bacon at all, I guess I'm on the tofu side of this debate.

KimGiancaterino says:

It's tofu for me, a vegetarian. The good news is that Morning Star Farms makes a great soy bacon (we call it Fake-un) and the BLTs are pretty tasty.

scavius says:

what a selfish and stupid entry - firstly, regardless of the debate to trivialise other peoples points of view: either side of the discussion is just a self indulgent rant.

The discussion is even more simple, it's all about an empathy of being with any living thing. Some put their own subsistence above other living beings, others that believe that we've advanced enough to put ethics over consumption.

Better protein LOL Wake up and smell the tofu.

dsofwi says:

Lets have both How about tofu stir fry (nice and spicy) no rice (south beach) and brussel sprouts chopped up and cooked with bacon and onions to give some flavor. Everyone wins except the pig!

MeganCasey says:

New week, new vote. I'm going for tofu today, since this side needs a little love. That, and I had the best spinach salad with sesame tofu for lunch yesterday.

catchquests says:

but that doesnt mean i dont eat bacon at all, its gud with pasta carbonara, i just prefer tofu more often :)

catchquests says:

tofu it is!!! :) it is soft and chewy and fun to eat! bacon can be too salty! and not to mention fattening!!~~ plus, chinese tofu is the best, its sooopperr soft and if you coat it well, it absorbs so much flavor and then it goes well with any food u pair with it ;) no calorie worries!

Casper says:

TOFU!

Be an eco-hero - join the tofu love-in!

ElChavia says:

Tofu. I have to say that I was born vegetarian never liked meat but was "advised" to eat it which I did during my childhood.

Soy must be the king of all beans!!!

CheekyChimp says:

I'm apologize Icea. I was only tryn' 2 Be Cheeky. I never want 2 insult,just have fun, but I C that I was rude. U do seem really smart and I was mean. Sorry. I just love animals and wish that we could all live together in peace with out slaughter. Dr. Albert Schweitzer had a pig as a pet and if U can find the story somewhere I'll bet u will be touched. I C A nice person who helped me B a better Chimp. Thanks.

Becca_Sanz says:

Humans are not meant to eat meat.

CheekyChimp says:

Hey Benny humans are made of meat also! "Humans! Jus' Heat Em and Eat Em! Lot's of Flavor Unlike Borin' old Tofu." Why don't you and Hanibal have a lovely lunch?

And Icea..... I C A clown tryin'2 sound smart. U make it seem like eating burned flesh will make me immortal, while a head of lettuce will kill me in seconds. Do U wash yo dead parakeet before U cook it? Jus touchin it can kill ya!
Being boring can cause a lot of dangerous side effects that will not B obvious 2 U until U R all alone for extended periods of time. Look N 2 it. But thanks for the information Doc!

CheekyChimp says:

But I ain't opposed to sum Kevin Beacon! MMMMMM GOOD!

Read "Diet For A New America" by John Robbins (heir to Baskin & Robbins) and you might not ever eat pork again. Get smart make your own choices and live with them.

CheekyChimp says:

Welcome abord Flight 420! Today we will be serving lunch. You have your choice of Bird Flu with cream sauce or Mad cow with an eColi gravy! Have a nice flight and enjoy!

LOVE ANIMALS DON'T EAT THEM

Lisa_Braithwaite says:

Tofu! Well, if I weren't a vegetarian, I might still eat bacon occasionally. But I am, so I can only go one way. I also like Morningstar Farms FAKE bacon. Does that count? It's like tofu and bacon in one!

Don't forget that before hippies and vegetarians ever heard of tofu, it was a staple item in Japanese and Chinese cooking - oftentimes together with meat.

Lorraine says:

Pass the tofu, por favor.

Yummy taste or no, it's unconscionable to eat piggies raised on evil factory farms. "Pigs are intelligent and playful," notes Shannon Hayes, author of The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook, "which makes processing day a very sad time for most farmers."

ThomasClifford says:

Hmmm...the tofu side needs help :-) Gotta go with tofu! (Psst...don't tell anyone, but bacon's pretty good, too!)

sahadeva says:

I've never eaten bacon in my life (or any other kind of meat), so I can't give an objective point of view here, but I must say that tofu is one of my faves. It's delicious, easy, and doesn't wreak havoc on any sensible person's sense of smell (sorry Gil). I made this caramelized tofu recipe for an incredibly beautiful girl last night and she loved it. So did I. Can you imagine cooking beacon to woo a some smart lad or lass? No way.

sethgodin says:

Gil rocks. Tofu tofu tofu. Megan is a nutcase. No doubt.

giltotherescue says:

I'm going to have to go with tofu. Don't get me wrong--I LOVE the smell of bacon, and it's an essential part of a complete breakfast. But with the right recipe that are so many more delicious options with tofu.

Miso soup, agedashi, steak, burrito, salad. With noodles, soy sauce, brocolli, carrots, onions, etc.

As much as I love bacon, you can only cook it one way...unless you're on a raw food diet. That's just gross.

Bacon, baby

Ann Marie says:

Soy is bad for you. It's a goitrogen, which causes thyroid disease. Sure, they eat it in Japan, but what they eat is *fermented* soy. Miso, tempeh, etc. -- all are traditionally fermented. Which reduces the phytates in soy. And they don't eat large quantities of soy. They eat it as a condiment.

Furthermore, they eat very large quantities of iodine (13 mg per day on average) -- via seaweed, bonito (fish) broth, and seafood. Soy interferes with iodine uptake (which is why it is a goitrogen and causes thyroid disease -- the thyroid gland needs iodine in large quantities). So by eating large quantites of iodine, they can afford small amounts of fermented soy.

Never before in history has any culture eaten such copious amounts of soy -- in the form of soy milk, soybean oil (which most restaurant foods are cooked in), and soy additives in most processed foods and all baby formulas.

And yet, we've been eating bacon for centuries. With no ill effects.

I used to be a vegetarian. I became very ill after a few years of that. Tofu is gross.

Give me bacon! (Nitrate free, and from humanely raised pigs.)

Griever says:

I have a horrible bias towards bacon simply because it's about as delicious as they come. Check that, it is as delicious as they come. I'm not sure why running is necessarily something to be proud of. Vegetarians can run and the rest of us can sit around consuming disproportionately large amounts of fried meat.

paulryburn says:

The Baconator at Wendy's. 'Nuff said.

Mark says:

What a hard choice..
Tofu: Because I like animals!
Bacon: Because I love meat!
:/ hmm.. Think I'll go for hmm.. Bacon, I have never ate tofu, soo.. I can't say it's good or not ;)

RadioactiveLiberty says:

If you eat tofu, the terrorists win!

Izzy says:

Tofu fails... enough said

:P @ shizzy

Miss_Bare says:

Organic, free-range pig. I was a die-hard vegetarian until one day when I smelt bacon and I couldn't resist. Now I have turned over to the dark side.

Nick says:

1) Hmm, If vegetarians are faster than carnivores then how do the carnivores eat? (I run a 0:05:10 mile and swim a 0:00:51 100yd freestyle. how about you?)

2) Cardboard can taste like anything you want as well that does not make it a superior food product.

3) If it makes the vegitarian/vegans feel better I could switch to eating live animals so you don't have to see me eat dead ones but I think that is just wrong and I will not give into your sickness.

Grasshoppa says:

I've heard tofu is nasty. I've also heard it's delicious. I never bothered trying it. One of these days I will, just to say I have. Bacon, on the other hand, I know. It's delicious. It's MEAT. What more can you want from your protein sources?

Mellowd says:

I'd have to say bacon. I hate tofu give me some greasy bacon!!

chris cox says:

Clearly bacon is the modern choice. Have raised many pigs and can tell you they are wonderful converters of unwanted food and forest products to [people] useful food. Our best pork, especially the bacon, came from a couple of pigs raised on surplus organic apples, cheese (from a local organic plant) and organic squash. No tractors, soil compaction, long energy intensive supply chains, just simple local ingrediants. BTW pigs are not smart. Tofu is ok but bacon is clearly superior.

Magnus says:

Soy, which is used to make tofu, was originally used as fertilizer in asia and was never even thought of as a human food. That is pretty darn sad, once it did find it's way to food it was then only given to pigs and animals later on to fatten them up. The amount of estrogen alone in there is enough to have people realize that it's not as healthy as you are led to believe. Sure it can taste like anything, but, do a bit of research on the food you put in your mouth. It's not a magic food subsititue, you are being lied to. And As for me... Bacon. It's a natural thing to eat, and providing you don't go overboard it's not that bad for you.

steveffeo says:

Bacon with onions and green peppers and garlic and potatoes please:):) Add some olive oil and Tofu that tastes like sourcream and we are all happy:):) Getting hungry now.

freedomgeek says:

I love animal flesh! That being said I would be willing to eat vat grown meat when it comes out.

Nick says:

Well at this stage in our evolutionary track we have carnivorous teeth so bacon is on the menu along with any other tasty animal. Do I know what they do to those poor animals? Not exactly but it is delicious. I suppose they could be killed in a way less humane than a Lioness dragging an antelope down by its jugular and starting to dine as the animal finishes bleeding out and eventually dieing...but I doubt it.

On another note those damn pigs are just raising the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing global warming, I say we all eat bacon for the sake of poor old mother earth. Our planet depends on it.

We could rid ourselves of the delicious pig but don't forget that all those midwest soy fields are depending on the fertilizer our tasty livestock produce. So if your not eating bacon with your tofu then I will have to eat a little extra just to cover your share.

ach22687 says:

BACON ALL THE WAY! tofu is nasty!

Boonblogger says:

Everything is better with Bacon. I didn't even know there could be a discussion about this. It's like asking which is better- Butter or an edible oil product butter replacement that smells like urine. No contest.

fefe says:

Bacon! I hate Tofu.

GypsyPirate says:

Bacon please. And, it's not just for breakfast anymore. Especially when making some of my grandmother's old recipes - you got to have a wee bit of bacon in there to get the flavor just right. (Yes, I like tofu also - but in a head to head, bacon wins.)

GuilbeauxJewelry says:

sorry, but give me backon give me meat tofu...what is it? playdoh?

Reg_Brittain says:

BACON!

coollikeme says:

Tofu is just plain lousy.

groovyoldlady says:

Bacon, preferably WITHOUT nitrates.

DrVenkmen says:

Is this even a contest? It tastes, smells, looks and clogs arteries better. Like Michael Scott from The Office, who doesn't enjoy waking up to the smell of freshly cooked bacon. So good.

KelleyEidem says:

let me apologize for the "gigagoop" ending on my last message...don't know exactly how that happened. It was the security word.

Is bacon gigagoop? or maybe it's tofu with all those additives.

KelleyEidem says:

I like bacon and don't like the taste of tofu. Still, I rarely eat bacon due to the sodium nitrate.

To make tofu taste like bacon requires some 'special' flavorings. I'm not a chemist, so I'll passgigagoop.

Cathy_at_McNeil_Ranch says:

It's not a valid discussion! Meat raised with consciousness and heart is healthy, delicious, and good for the environment. However, the industrial pig farming that goes on in this country is deplorable. I eat bacon raised by my neighbors, raised in pastures and meadows, without added hormones or antibiotics, that is smoked, and not cured with unpronouncable chemicals. Conversely, industrial soy farming creates an environmental disater, and most of it is genetically modified. Have you ever seen mountain lion, elk, deer, or cranes in a soybean field? You probably never will! Yet I have seen all of those types of wildlife and more in pastures and meadows where pigs and other livestock are raised.

RyanRE says:

Neither are that great, but I do prefer bacon to tofu.

JT says:

Bacon, baby check out the photos below, I cooked the bacon on the pizza pan below (and actually took that photo). Amazing what a little brown sugar can do. I got the idea from here: http://www.tonychor.com/archive/000443.html

I will eat anything wrapped in bacon, I will eat around anything wrapped in tofu.

Icea says:

CheekyChimp, tone is often missed in online conversations. If your intent was to be light-hearted, I appologize for missing reading you. No harm, you cheeky beast. ;-)

I've studied and continue to study nutrition, on a personal level, because I've been concerned about raising healthy children. I've reviewed vegan diets, raw food diets, meat-only diets, vegetarian diets... you name it. I've, simply, come to the conclustion that a diet balancing fats, protiens and enzymes (in the traditional/cultural mode) is the wisest choice for my family.

I am against soy as a main food product for all (human, horse, cow, pig, chicken, etc); there are so many better plant protiens available. Aside from tannins, soy is also high in phytates (protien inhibitors) which can be limited through fermention in miso, natto, etc. But, no amount of processing done currently removes the phytoestregens. Phytoestregens are potent endocrine disrupters and also have a tendency to cause thyroid problems.

It just doesn't make sense to eat a "high protien" diet of soy if your body can't digest that soy protien does it? ;-)

I've known many silly pigs and I agree with you, all animals deserve to be raised and cared for in a humane and conscientious manner even if they are destined for the dinner plate. Humanely, carefully, raised animals are healthier and provide a better quality source of food (dairy, egg or meat).

As an aside, I also believe people who do not have an agricultural background can misunderstand proper management when they see it. Livestock animals are not housepets and shouldn't be treated as though they are. I worry about this because it can cause problems for knowledgable farmers and well intentioned visitors alike.

In food and farming, it seems to come down to being curious, educating ourselves and making the choice we think is best. I'm just glad there is so much information available for little to no cost!

Icea says:

CheekyChimp I have to care about your opinion in order for juvenile attempt at insulting to work. Now, be a big Chimp and add to the conversation instead of trying to be a simple bully.

I've never said eating flesh will make anyone immortal (no diet will). Nor did I say a head of lettuce will kill you. I have pointed out there is potential for contamination in ALL food choices. Which is why I believe it is best to find and purchase as much food as possible from local, responsible growers.

Ian says:

This is not even an argument. Tofu is edible sponge. Bacon is God's candy.

Benny says:

If we are not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
Tofu has no taste, it just tastes like anything you put it with, so wrap your tofu in bacon and stuff it with bacon then fry it in bacon fat. mmm bacon....

Icea says:

Bird flu isn't transferred by consumption of flesh.

Mad Cow disease can be caused by the consumption of tainted flesh but primarily brain tissue. Bovine will eat the afterbirth of another bovine without contration of mad cow (even if the mother was a confirmed case). Also, organo-phosphates are suspect in mad cow. How much organo-phosphate contamination is in the non-animal-based food supply? Living in farm country, I'd wager a lot.

Wasn't the last great eColi break-out found in baby spinach?

You have to make informed choices and find local, whole foods. Responsibly raised meat, dairy and chicken is incomparable to what is available in the common grocery store. Even in veggies, not all food is grown equal. :)

Bacon is the royalty of the food world!

Icea says:

Interestingly enough pigs and humans should be warry of eating too much soy protien due to the high tannin levels found in soy beans. Tannins bind with the substrate protiens and digestive enzymes. This is bad news because enzymes work in concert with each other to complete there tasks. So, if one or two are bound-up by tannins the digestive enzymes can not do their jobs. Tannins binding with protiens means the body can not digest them. Tannins are also well known for their prowess at blocking the absorbtion of vitamins and minerals.

Tofu is too high in tannins to be considered a health food. It is more, likely, to be anti-nutritive (ie: blocking absorbtion or causing the body to strip nutrients from within the body for use in digestion).

Indigenous societies that used soy beans never used them as a protien replacer. They were intended as condiments most often fermented and occassionally (sparingly) sprouted.

Isn't it wonderful soy protien is used in just about EVERYTHING? Yummy industrial waste product that it is? MMMMM, MMMMM!

Seriously, there are better plant protiens to be used than those found in soy. But you shouldn't be missing out on all the non-hydrogenated, non-rancid, totally natural short, medium and long chain fats found in the fat of the pig. Healthy fat is essencial to a healthy diet.

High Tannin diets are not good for pig or human... so go eat some bacon.

Bacon...no contest.
