Telling all my loved ones that my life is barren and unfulfilled because I have to eat vegetables instead of flesh.

    Now we can look forward to a 4 hour video essay where she compares people criticizing this tweet to the Romanovs getting shot.

      she compares people criticizing this tweet to the Romanovs getting shot

      Rightly so, they're both awesome things.

    This is incredibly stupid, even from a non-vegan perspective. God damn Contra really never did care about anything other than herself from the beginning, did she?

      How do you even come up with "tofu has no texture"?

      It comes in 4+ textures, and each can take on at least 4 new textures depending on how you cook it.

          Have they tried silk tofu in soup? Drained, pressed, and torn apart and fried? Extra firm tofu marinated and baked? Crumbled, fried, mixed with spices and cheese as a filling?

          Sorry if this is presumptuous, someone says "I don't like the texture of beef", I'm gonna assume like they had a extra rare ribeye once and don't know any better, this is no different.

      Especially because the amount of sacrifice you have to make to be vegan is directly proportional to how rich you are.

      With money like she has she could afford all the pricy vegan products and basically be sacrificing nothing

    Tofu doesn't even have to be a meat replacement, it's a good and important ingredient in its own right

      Absolutely. If I'm eating tofu it's because I want tofu not because I secretly want to eat chicken or some shit.

      Every PR advisor ever:

      Your reach is too large to use Twitter like a normal person and just tweet whatever comes to your mind

      Every YouTube influencer ever:

      i just dont get why we cant kick puppies send tweet

    There are more varieties of fruits and vegetables on Earth than any one person could ever eat in a lifetime.

    But I guess that still counts as deprivation!

    lol I eat way tastier food as a vegan because I had to learn to cook. That includes tofu.

    Feels like Natalie is searching for conflict just to stay relevant.

    It's the 21st century and there are still people out there, in major western cities even, with access to all the wonderful foods the world has to offer, there are still people eating literal body parts like it's the iron age or some apocalyptic fan fiction scenario.

    I like tofu. It's great in pad thai, stir fry, tofu scrambles are pretty dope too. Like it isn't exactly an obscure vegan thing, there are a ton of common east Asian dishes that incorporate it and are all pretty good. Contrapoints is also someone that would know that, not like she's from a small town that wouldn't have a decent Thai or Chinese place. This feels purely to get a rise out of people, especially that needlessly aggressive last tweet.

      Don’t know how to cook or source fresh quality tofu. She’s probably just popping it out of a Tetra pack and trying to eat it just like that.
