BACON VS. TOFU: Which side are you on?

Ranked #4,592 in Food & Cooking, #82,376 overall | Donates to Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue of NorCal

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.

tofu!!!

vy says:

TOFU ALL THE WAY

goo2eyes says:

I SAY BOTH BUT YOU GIVE ME ONLY ONE CHOICE. I STICK TO TOFU BECAUSE IT IS HEALTHIER.

mellex says:

Tofu!! No question.

TravelingRae says:

Both have their place in my diet! I'm voting for tofu for its versatility.

Maria says:

Tofu barely wins due to versatility, haven't had bacon in a long time because it's soooo unhealthy!

jaye5500 says:

Is this even a choice?

ChristineRenee says:

Tofu is really delicious if it's cooked well. Some people who think they hate tofu just haven't had gooooood tofu. (btw, the mapo tofu at P.F. Chang's is to die for).

I'm a vegetarian, so I haven't had bacon in a long time. But I have to admit that the smell of bacon makes me drool sometimes. But I would never want to actually eat it because it's so greasy and I remember from when I did eat meat that bacon would not sit well in my stomach.

timeforheroes says:

I've been vegan for a couple of years now and it's funny because when people meet vegans they think 'oh activist preach-y annoying in your face' etc. etc. actually, i'm nothing like that. It's usually omnivores that are like 'wheyy you need to get a steak down you love'. No thanks. Tofu all the way. I've even made a lens on the best tofu recipes (:

thesecretkeeper says:

TOFU
sorry but no animal had to die to make tofu

ShandiGP says:

TOFU TOFU TOFU!

lizardlize says:

tofu!

veggie says:

bacon is really bad for you... tofu all the way! go vegetarians!

TOUFFU says:

After being a vegetarian for two years, the smell of frying bacon actually makes me feel ill. Every heard the expression "death warmed over"?

Yeah. That's what it smells like.

snazzify says:

I'm definitely a tofu girl. Then again I'm vegetarian so bacon is not an option.

dinah says:

Acute nephritis can eat eggs, bean curd, meat? ... Acute nephritis can eat eggs, bean curd, meat.. Acute nephritis can eat eggs, abercrombie, bean curd...

Dustbunnyodoom says:

Meat free for almost ten years! I use to eat more tofu, but for the past couple of years I've been trying to get back into using whole foods in my diet rather than a lot of processed soy. Still tofu can be quite a treat every once in a while and I don't imagine helpless pigs suffering in some factory farm when I think about it.

jolielaide75 says:

Tofu! Even though I am a carnivore at heart, being a vegan for a year has helped me to love tofu!

Henk says:

I don't eat meat, so it has to be tofu. Besides, tofu tastes great!

www.anfsmall.com says:

Bacon tofu roll to see this channel, I would like to, not the volume the more the tofu bacon tightly as possible, appropriate scale, a certain space, after forming the Jian Hao, Bacon moisture loss, meat will tighten, A&F the Tofu is also tight volume,

One4Nell says:

It's a health issue for me. My blood type (A) doesn't digest meats well and bacon is full of nitrites which is a cancer risk for the stomach's of the type A blood individuals.

crazykungfuexpert says:

I like eating tofu because it is high in calcium and protein...more healthier to eat...

LeanneChesser says:

I'm a vegan, so it's tofu. It's that simple.

Ducky-lurve says:

I'm going to side with the environment, all the animals who live a sad excuse for a life in captivity only to be slaughtered, and my own health and say tofu. Not only is it healthy and ethical, but it's pretty damn delicious!

Jyzo says:

I'm a soya-junkie! When properly prepared and cooked, it is utterly delicious. Saying that, even if it was a choice between mouldy tofu or fresh bacon, I'd still choose the tofu... An animals life means more to me than a two-minute taste experience!

QueSea says:

Tofu = Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday

Kaji says:

I'm a recent veggie convert, so I say tofu! I had some last night that was amazing! You have to get used to the texture, but once you do, it's so versatile!

KarenTBTEN says:

I haven't eaten meat since I was nineteen.

nightcats says:

Tofu. My doctor says no bacon. Cholesterol, you know.

LaraineRose says:

I'm not a vegetarian, but I do love the tofu bacon. It is 100percent better for us. Can't beat the smell of bacon and coffee on a hiking trip though!

anibee says:

Tofu, tofu, tofu! Nicely marinated, grilled or baked. Better than any corpse, for sure ;)

monad says:

tofu. so good any way its made. and of course. 52 g of protein in a small package. bam

Ansaar says:

Think about it, why would you want to eat from the filthiest animal on the planet?

Duckylurve says:

Tofuuuuuuu please! It's delicious, oh so good for you, and i know that I'm not hurting anyone.

Yuka says:

I totally second Phillip.
Tofu tastes luuvely stir fried with sesame oil and leeks,

Susanlynne367 says:

To the guy who said bacon has been around forever... it actually hasn't. Tofu's been around for thousands of years, even before type of animal we know as a "pig," and especially before all the stuff we do to it to make it palatable, smoking, flavoring, grilling, etc. Tofu is versatile, as are things like tempeh and seitan. Bioloically, we've always been setup to be field-grazing vegetarians. We only turned to meat as an alternative source of food when climate changes or predators made our natural food sources scarce. Now that we have grocery stores, there's no reason to be a meat eater. I'll take some dirt on my mushrooms to parasitic worms in my cow burger any day! And it's not possible for you to be an environmentalist and be a meat eater, too.

klieneine says:

Tofu, definitely! There is no such thing as a meat eating Environmentalist. Factory Farming creates more pollution than all other sources combined.

Lorraine Thompson says:

Weighed in months ago, but still favor tofu. It MUST be properly prepared, however.

Philip says:

Why Must I Choose?!!

I think tofu tastes better wrapped in bacon...

haden says:

tofu is kick ass

MerryM says:

I'm going to go with tofu, only because I don't eat bacon. I do eat tofu or drink soy milk on occassion but not every day, as there seem to be health risks associated with eating too much soy. Mostly, I prefer to get my protein from fish or by combining legumes and grains.

hlkljgk says:

mmmmm... fatty lower-abdominal muscle slices, over salted to slow the decaying process. oh yeah.

JustAls says:

NEWSFLASH ANN MARIE: Eating too much MEAT isn't good for you either hun!!

JustAls says:

TOFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Kark Molman says:

Go ahead eat more bacon. You will start smelling funny. Even God tried to warn you. Go ahead, eat it every day, four times a day. I'll donate all the bacon I would have eaten to you, if I hadn't become vegetarian twenty years ago. Tofu tofu tofu is the way. Coat it in nutritional yeast, fry it, add soy sauce, sesame seeds, yum!

hhc08 says:

You can cook tofu anyway you want, stir fly by it self, with pork, pickles, make it in a stew, a soup, eat it cold as a salad with sesame oil and soy sauce...and dare i say it, add some bacon to it if you must. Tofu is soooooooo versatile!

Amanda_Blue says:

I love the taste of bacon but for reasons of health and longevity I'm on the side of Tofu--all the way!

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.

says:

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

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

Zoli says:

I just wanna to say we have to stop being so scared how much fat we eat. Fat/Bacon is good for you of course in certain amount. Its not the fat is making trouble in our life is Sugar. Just search for this video "Sugar the Bitter Truth" and see it yourself what is really happening...

saul says:

tofu is just does not slightly compare to the beautifulness of bacon how dare you ask this

purpleclouds says:

like tofu, but love bacon ;)

bruzzbuzz says:

I should be on the tofu side but damn it, I love the bacon.

TrebAllen says:

OhBoyOhBoyOhBoy NumNumNumNum it's Bacooooon!!!

JewelRiver says:

yum

baby-strollers says:

Bacon, tofu is fine in an asian broth, but has no place next to eggs.

jake says:

Bacon

Smiley says:

I'm a vegetarian...but bacon's the bomb dot com!

Bibby says:

I've tried tofu in three different places, three different ways. All three were like eating inner-tubes. Tasteless rubber.

No contest.

eteachers says:

Mmmm. Bacon.

cocktailsexaminer says:

Oh yeah, bacon!

johnmarkusen says:

Bacon just tastes better

wishfulthinking777 says:

i love bacon. tofu grosses me out

GastroStu says:

Gotta be bacon. Very few things are tastier and tofu is certainly not one of them

BellParc says:

Definitely bacon! YUM!

Tiggered says:

Give me the pig anytime

onemanband101 says:

TURKEY BACON!

Pigeater57 says:

Tofu isn't even food. This is ridiculous. Bacon. Easy choice.

DaveHiggsVis says:

I love tofu, but not as much as I love bacon. See, tofu needs a supporting cast of characters to make it amazing, but bacon shines all on its own. As well, bacon is a brilliant culinary accessory: it goes with just about everything!

brandonwithglasses says:

Bacon is bacon. No B.S. Tofu tries to be a hamburger and other meat substitutes, like it would fool anyone. Come on Tofu, you're OK. You don't have to pretend to get people to like you, be happy with who you are.

greenreviews says:

Bacon!

gabriel32 says:

Bacon all the way but I should try tofu more often cuz it is healthy food.

mysticmama says:

Everything is better with bacon :P

basketbeast23 says:

I don't really get the debate bacon goes good with everything.

tealmermaid says:

Pork fat rules. Doesn't hurt to be allergic to soy either.

saraih26 says:

I say bacon, but I'm not opposed to trying alternatives!

Fred-17 says:

I haven't try Tofu yet, so I'm going for the bacon. :-)

TrainYourDogHere says:

I don't have a side I like both. I have actually had both in a restaurant in the same dish. It was delicious! 8))

However since I have to choose below, it will beeeeeeee:

LOLteez says:

I'm sorry, is this a trick question? Bacon!

Adam Zonnis says:

Here's my answer!

Tipi says:

I think I need a bacon scarf! Have you ever had a bacon and peanut butter sandwich? Bacon, baby! I wonder if tofu would actually taste better if fried with bacon, hmmm....

thrivingmom says:

I was hoping for a guestbook, since I can eat neither bacon nor tofu. I'm allergic to soy and I'm allergic to pork. But, I do love turkey bacon. I'm definitely a meat eater since I'm allergic to soy bean, as well as all other beans and legumes.

baconlishis says:

Take my bacon I cut you! J-k but seriously dont take my bacon

pumpnut says:

I have actually Made tofu plugs and wrapped them with bacon.

Rukke says:

Bacon is good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, alone, with chicken, pork, beef, pasta, Even fish, it's great as a snack to. anything! Bacon is a champion! it will spice up that tofu piece you are stuggling with ;) no doubt about it :D hey, is there a day to celebrate bacon? :D

baconsammich says:

bacon bacon bacon sammichs everywhere

Peter.Murray says:

Tofu sounds like something you find in socks.

MarkUpshaw says:

What's life without some pleasure. Have them both.

ArdenBaird says:

Bacon all the way! I love it any way I can get it. Burgers, pizza, scrambled eggs. The list is endless. I found a really decadent bacon recipe all the bacon lovers might want to try (or not): http://bit.ly/NGyx

OutofmyDepth says:

Everyone loves the smell of bacon

drs2biz says:

Bacon , for flavour, hands down! But I feel really guilty saying this.

redflea13 says:

There is no contest.

BizTechDayRockstars says:

Can I have both!

jrduboc says:

Dude, everything tastes better with bacon. Even Bacon.

TeamSTM says:

Bacon is my favorite, I can only eat Tofu if I am hungry enough to do so. Besides no matter how Tofu is prepared, it can't become crisp like Bacon!!!

kimmiekins says:

I'm all about the bacon. Very crispy, please.

svarun says:

I'm a man, so it's bacon. It's that simple.

howdoyouspellstupid says:

Bacon is just delicious. I've grown up partially vegetarian, and I think it's great! But bacon and other meats are simply too yummy to resist sometimes! I like the idea of being a "weekday vegetarian" or limiting meat-eating, but bacon is so yummy.

Christene says:

Bacon. I need salt and grease...and crispy. Yum.

OneFootPutt says:

Bacon, of course. I've never had a Tofu, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich.

Katehhh says:

Meat for life.

resabi says:

Sigh... If I have to pick, I guess I pick bacon but I like both. Any reason we can't saute bacon and tofu together? Add a little broccoli, a few carrots... Or, hey, bacon-wrapped tofu (instead of scallops) on little toothpicks for appetisers. (Don't mind me -- I can't cook at all.)

lumpy22 says:

I will take the porkbellies!

WWWWHAT?!? says:

BACON TOFU IS NASTY BACON IS FREAKING AWESOME

AmericanDreamer says:

People who think that Tofu is healthier have all been taken in by the soy companies who all want you to THINK that it is better for you. Sure bacon is fatty, which is bad, which could lead to problems if you eat five pounds of it every day, but I would much rather die of a heart attack then from cancer, which is what soy and tofu will give you.

The idea that soy is good for you came from the asian cultures which supposedly eat a lot of it, and look how healthy they are (or were, before their diets became westernized). But first off, thier soy is different from ours, more fresh, straight from the plant, as apposed to horribly processed like ours. Second of all, they don't eat soy like we think they do. We actually now eat much much MORE then they do. Tofu as we know it today, is an american creation, not an asian one (tofu was created in China, but it was very different from tofu of today) and our method has unfortunately replaced the asian one. Take a moment to look at the ingredients in a few things in your pantry. You'll be shocked by how fast you find somthing with soy powder, soy protein, or soy anything. Especially if you shop for so-called, health food. It's in practically everything, and we are doing horrible things to our bodies because of it.

Soy in any form (though much more in the modern highly processed form) does nasty things to your hormones (especially estrogen). It can cause cancer, physical problems, and most bizzarely, can somewhat feminize men. Because it shoots up the estrogen levels, or the female hormone, it can reduce muscle mass, drop virility, and do all sorts of bad things to men. What it does to women is even worse. Quickens menopause (some people theorise that menopause wouldn't even exist if we totally cut out soy and other highly processed foods), cause PMS-like symptoms even when not at that time of month, often causes young girls to develope womenly-like body features much younger then they should (like, 11 or 12), and so many other terrible disorders. Messing with your bodies natural hormones is a very dangerous and scary thing. A baby who drinks baby formula instead of mothers milk (as they should) ingests the equivalent of I think 12 birth control pills worth of estrogen every week (I might be off on those numbers, as it has been a while since I reseached this, but I'm pretty sure this was it).

Worst of all is that these chemical imbalences in your body are not somthing which only affects you. It gets in your urine, which then gets into the water system, and eventually back into drinking water (and unlike lead and chlorine, it doesn't come out so easily with filters), thus making everyone susceptible, no matter how hard you try to avoid it. Because it's in your body, it also affects your children as well. We have destroyed the quality of our food and water so badly that the problem is now impossible to fix or avoid. If we somehow were able to stop now, we would still feel the affects of what we have done for at least 2 or 3 generations to come. It's a frightening thought. There are so many medical problems in the world today that we did not have a mere 200 years ago that stem from either this, or the enormous increase in sugar.

So, yeah, if it's a choice between a little extra fat and a possibility of a heart attack...or this...I'll take the bacon please (of couse since pigs are generally fed soy products they have it to, but at least you can find pork products which are properly raised and handled.

Better for you, way better tasting, I am 100% on the bacon side. Those who eat tofu because they think that it is healthier, and sadly misinformed. I can understand the animal rights thing, and the vegetarian/vegan thing, but there is no other good reason for someone to chose tofu over bacon...unless you don't like the taste of bacon, in which case...what the heck is wrong with you!!! :P

For the record, the reason that the asian culture is so healthy (or was, before we westernized their diets) is because they ate tons and tons of fish and vegetables ;) THAT is what we are supposed to eat. Eat fish and vegetables all your life and you will be one very healthy person.

QueSea says:

Bacon = Saturday, Sunday, and Monday

BarbRad says:

I eat both, but if I had to give up one, I'd give up tofu. So many things would not taste as good without a bit of added bacon -- chard, spinach salads, Bacon and avocado sandwiches, baked beans, etc. It just enhances the taste of so many vegetables, whereas tofu needs something else to give it flavor.

Laniann says:

I don't eat either Tofu or Bacon. But, I think bacon would be less harmful if eaten in moderation.

tandemonimom says:

I can't eat tofu, it upsets my tummy. I buy nitrate-free bacon from organic pigs, and save the drippings to use later! Yummy stuff!

RegionalHyundai says:

Pigs are actually one of the cleanest animals. Sure, they bathe in dirt to keep cool, but comparatively speaking, their hygene is better than most animals.

Heather426 says:

Bacon! I love trees and animals, but tofu doesn't do it for me!

NanLT says:

I love my bacon! Dry cured, smoked, back bacon.

purplelady says:

Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Our Stater Bros. store has introduced me to my latest bacon addiction---peppered bacon. Num! Makes absolutely the best BLT.

Mickie_G says:

Gimme Bacon! A "TLT" does not sound nearly as appetizing as "BLT".

Sheriff John says:

My Tofu is a bully .... as much as I like to use him in my dishes, I have to side with Bacon because I am always having to rescue him from Tofu.

mcshawn says:

Tofu comes from soy, which affects both estrogen and testosterone levels, not to mention the links to cancer. How bad could bacon be?

Mark says:

No contest: bacon all the way

Scarlet (& Pat) says:

Bacon ... wraped around a date that is filled with goat cheese and a blanched almond.

mgaser says:

Everyday is a bacon day.

clouda9 says:

Bacon in moderation - the taste just cannot be denied :*

PlatitudeSam says:

Tofu tastes like a dead rotting corps, marinaded in battery acid to me. Bacon, on the other hand is warb, buttery goodness...

lyjusinski says:

Bacon all the way, and any kind (turkey, pre-cooked, hickory, etc.) will do.

train says:

seriously bacons awesome i hav never even tried tofu but it sounds disqusting

Punketer says:

I dont care about living a “healthy” way or to live a little longer. I would rather live 55 years eating burgers,pizza, fried chicken, bacon drinking beer and coke than living 80 eating cucumber lettuce and tofu. and even eating like that you dont know for sure if you’re gonna live that old. I have seen people who eat everything live till very old. and I have seen vegans die for unknown reasons. we all gonna die someday.. it’s just what u want. flavor and pleasure or sacrifice and restrictions. most vegans are influenced by magazines and think that the beautiful people has to be thin. are they right? lol

Why Must I Choose?!!

Mikael says:

I'm lovin' it! Soo unhealthy, soo delicious!

ChloeComfort says:

Bacon Rocks! Bacon makes everything better.

thesolowriter says:

My parents ranch for a living. And when we were kids, we raised pigs, as well as chickens, etc. Which simply means I'd feel VERY arrogant for being a tofu person. I can't even say I'm one generation removed from depending on meat for sustenance. Many friends are vegetarians and they are sooooo easy to cook for and we're all very tolerant of what each chooses to put in our bodies. Even if the meat industry wasn't still central to the existence of my family, I'd have to say: Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Oh my gosh, it tastes SO good and smells divine.

Brian says:

Bacon, of course. My question: since bacon is delicious, and pigs will eat anything, what would a pig raised on nothing but bacon taste like?

Now, what about a pig raised on nothing but a bacon from a pig that ate nothing but bacon?

Think about it.

SueFaceeee says:

although tofu is healthier bacon is definitely!!! tastier.
and hey i have nothing against people that choose to be vegetarians but anyone that says people were not meant to eat meat is a moron. Now im not saying vegetarianism isnt the healthier or more eco-friendly choice, but people were physically designed for being omnivores.

rachael says:

bacon imve never had tofu ha ggggooooooooo bacon

AngelaBaden says:

I eat both. Depending on my mood. I must say, though, I prefer bacon for breakfast. Nothing beats that flavor. I opt for turkey bacon when I'm doing the cooking at home, which is all the time. When I'm out to eat, if there's no turkey bacon, I'll eat regular bacon. I also fix tofu and order it sometimes when I'm out. But, then, I like all kinds of food, including scrapple, so I'm apt to eat pretty much anything. :-)

Spaz says:

Bacon. I love bacon so much that I decided to become atheist, because jews aren't allowed to eat pork. Besides, Bacon has more flavour than tofu

GreenRevolution says:

Yes, tofu is better for you and it's the logical choice. But when it comes to pure flavor and satisfaction, you can't beat delicious bacon. Hmmm...BACON.

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:

Mark says:

What a hard choice..
Tofu: Because I like animals!

:/ 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:

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.

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:

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.)

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.

Kelley

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.

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.
