When I say the word “tofu,” what’s the first thought that comes into your mind? Hippie? Health food? Commune? For some people, tofu is the kool-aid that inducts them into a cult they want no part of.

Benjamin Franklin ate tofu after he discovered it on a trip to London. People all over the world eat tofu and some on a daily basis.
