Not that it stops me from eating tasty pork, but as my fiancee's father says:
Pigs are one of the most parasite-ridden creatures alive. So what if you cook it thoroughly? You're still eating DEAD parasites!

There's not 100% safe animal product (or plant, for that matter!).

Californian stytle tofu sucks, have you tried Asian style? much better.

yes, they still suck pretty much...sans 1 or 2 dishes but meat is pretty guaranteed to get you hard.
tofu is like bleh...

Don't worry, its just a fad.

Remember when Fat makes you fat and FAT was bad? Now, its only certain FAT that's bad and Pork was bad back then, now its good again.
Remember when Alcohol was bad? Now red wine should be drank once a day.
Remember when Smoking was cool? Now you can't even run a cigarette promoting commercial.
Remember when Fish was good for you? Now its bad.
Beef was good, now bad too.

Eggs were once bad too, now its good again.
Sex used to be good, then bad (religion and AIDS scare), now its good again :)

The point is, give it another few years and all that's bad will be good again. All that's good will be bad again.

Wow...dude..mercury is only really an issue with Tuna. Jesus..you think they are being "contaminated"? It just has to do with the bigger fish eating the smaller ones therefore digesting more mercury.

IMO, no mean is safe except for fish.

a lot of misinformation and hysteria going on in the world today.

For the people that hate tofu, I am willing to bet they haven't had good tofu...it's not just asian vs american, there is bad asian tofu as well.

I just eat them all. I mean, I could die driving to work tomorrow with all the ice and snow on the interstate. I still drive to work, eat what I want to eat, in moderation.

Salmon, the other Pink meat , might be your best bet

there was just a big report on the levels of toxins in salmon. people shouldn't eat it more than once a week.
