It seems weird to suggest that tofu is less processed than butter. I suppose if you're buying the most high-end expensive tofu it might be a bit better but from what I know of how it's made I don't find it very appealing.

I'd say it's a lot easier to make butter in your kitchen than it is tofu.

There's a really good book about the food industry called "Eat Your Heart Out" by Felicity Lawrence. I already thought tofu was a plasticky non-food but that book put me off it for life.

Given that soy is the raw material you are "just given"

You need a cow in your kitchen to make butter!

Tofu got some haters. But as far as I know, it is bad for health (if not contaminated with pollutants).

You talk about "appealing" and "off putting". I try to keep the discussion on healthy vs not.
