More Worries for Guardian Readers
Is tofu bad for the environment? - guardian.co.uk
Does that mean we should shun it?
.... it would be great if contributors can kick the debate off with their own thoughts.

Having read the associated articles, I see we are still avoiding the over population issue.
I know this might be a tad controversial, but can I suggest a debate on the pros and cons of reducing all these problems and concerns by eating a Guardian reader? I appreciate a whole one may be difficult to take at one sitting (at least I have found that to be the case), but invite some like-minded friends around and make an evening of it!
Can anyone recommend a suitable wine?

"I know this might be a tad controversial, but can I suggest a debate on the pros and cons of reducing all these problems and concerns by eating a Guardian reader?"
Excellent idea! Perhaps George Monbiot could encourage Guardian readers to volunteer for this by showing the way.
Step forward, George, and be rendered into a nice vindaloo for the sake of the planet!

I've had tofu inflicted on me by various veggie-minded friends in my time and all I can say is: who the hell are you trying to fool? Awful, tasteless, rubbery pabulum. I dare say there have been days in my life which have passed without my eating meat, but I am fairly confident that none of them has been since 1990 or thereabouts. I try to eat animals at least twice a day and generally succeed.

On a similar theme, I still chuckle at Armando Ianucci's comment "If meat is murder, then is Quorn guilty of wasting police time?".
