Tofu becomes a stand-in for everything the animal-exploiting industries fear: change. And that’s why tofu matters. Every time someone chooses it over flesh, they’re voting against a system built on exploitation, slaughter, and environmental collapse.
Every bite of tofu is a refusal to see animals as property and resources. Tofu doesn’t need defending on culinary grounds – it’s already a staple for billions of people worldwide.
What it needs is recognition for what it represents: a break from the supremacist mindset that insists animals must die for humans to eat well. So next time someone sneers that tofu is “disgusting,” remember: it’s not about taste.
It’s about power, culture, and whether we’re willing to reject the myth that exploitation is inevitable.
