The Tofu Conspiracy

I have found out that Tofu is made using a (not so)secret ingredient: Calcium Sulfate (gypsum).

Calcium sulfate (gypsum): The traditional and most widely used coagulant to produce Chinese-style tofu. It produces a tofu that is tender but slightly brittle in texture. The coagulant itself has no perceivable taste. Use of this coagulant also makes a tofu that is rich in calcium. As such, many tofu manufacturers choose to use this coagulant to be able to market their tofu as a good source of dietary calcium

Gypsum is the main component in DRYWALL!

The next time you buy tofu, tofu burgers, tofu hot dogs or a tofurky.... it is rich in calcium because you are eating plaster.

Is it a conspiracy by the powers that be, to kill off new age hippies that won't eat the 'toxic' meat from factory farms?

I don't know yet. I would like to hear some other opinions.

Tofu is made from soy beans.
Monsanto controls the soy bean market from what I understand.

Just wanted to add fuel to the fire for you.

I have always been curious about the soy bean,Monsanto and tofu connection.

And now this.

Thanks for the help.

I always wondered why I disliked tofu. Now I know that it is because I don't like to eat plaster.

I like roasted soy beans.

Another fact: Uncooked soybeans are indigestible by humans.

Well is sure tastes like drywall so that makes sense...
