Watch the Beef Boy Betas pop in here and tell us vegans what's up!
I wholeheartedly disagree with her on tofu not being healthy because it's processed. If you pop over to YouTube and look at what the process of making tofu looks like, it's a pretty harmless process and the fiber is preserved. The beans are soaked overnight, blended with water, brought to a boil and then left to cool, add lemon juice and mix, curdling happens, strain, shape and put in the fridge. The only thing lost in this process is whatever water soluble vitamins there were, although it's arguable that those same vitamins are denatured in the cooking process anyways.
