Welcome to the debate!

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.

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

I'm a meateater and a baconlover.  BUT I love tofu and plenty of vegetarian and vegan food too, and I'm more of a treehugger and a liberal than most vegetarians I know.

I think Tofu and Bacon people can live and work together just fine -- and dare I say.... could even be on the same menu.

This is a lens focused on the great Tofu vs. Bacon debate, but also has some fun recipes, toys and shoutouts for both.
