Anytime I walk into a restaurant, or a grocery store, or any place where food is for sale, I'm faced with a lot of options that I'm not allowed to have. These options are the meat products. Did you know that Jell-O is one of the foods vegetarians aren't allowed to eat? I've been a vegetarian for a few years now, and the one question that people always ask me is "Why don't you eat meat?"
I still technically "eat" meat, but at the same time, I don't. The food that I eat is made up of soy protein, or if it's not soy, it's a type of other protein. What I eat is ironically similar to meat. I'll refer to it as tofu from now on, not only because it is delicious, but because it is one of the most common foods that come to mind upon hearing the word "vegetarian".
Tofu and meat are both packed with protein, essential for muscle development and growth. Tofu can be easily substituted for meat in most dishes. Even through their many differences, these two products are very similar.
