Tofu Versus Meat: Which Would You Rather Eat?

Joe Loria December 13, 2017
A recent video by Insider gives a behind-the-scenes view of how
tofu is made
. The clip is interesting, but reveals nothing extraordinary: Soybeans
are processed and finally cut into giant cubes of tofu.
Contrast this with how animal products are made.
Mercy For Animals has conducted over 60 undercover
investigations
 at factory farms and slaughterhouses across North America. Each
time we’ve exposed horrific scenes that leave even the most stoic people sick
to their stomachs.
Have a look:
Animals at today’s factory farms are cruelly confined and routinely
mutilated without painkillers before facing a violent death at the
slaughterhouse. What’s more, not a single federal law protects animals during
their lives at factory farms
. And the law that’s supposed to protect animals at
the slaughterhouse, the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act, excludes birds and
rabbits, leaving them with virtually no protection from abuse.
There’s a reason parents take their kids to an apple orchard
or a pumpkin patch and not to a slaughterhouse. And there’s a reason you can easily
watch footage from a tofu factory but can barely stand the gruesome scenes of a
meat factory.
Thankfully, no one needs to eat animal products to thrive;
it’s quite the opposite. There are tremendous health and environmental benefits to ditching animal
products and switching to delicious plant-based alternatives, like tofu.

9 Pieces of Photographic Evidence That Prove Christmas Ham Came From Hell

Each year Americans eat an estimated 318 million pounds of ham around the holidays. But how many actually think about where it comes from? Sadly, at today’s factory farms, piglets are routinely castrated, tail docked, and ear tagged without painkillers, and mother pigs endure nearly a lifetime of extreme confinement in small metal crates. Of […]
