Answer 1

You dont need tofu, there are plenty other sources of protein! but, if prepared well, it does taste really good!

I'll email you some recipes, I'm on my lunch break at work...so i cant post them right now...

Answer 2

No.  You can eat a lot of salads, fruits, and vegetables. And personally, I think tofu tastes like c**p, so if you like it then enjoy it, lol.

Answer 3

NO I do not I'm allergic to SOY(so tofu).

As for the l***o-g*y, animal stuff..Where do people get this silliness? Is any thing or one that is different all that scary?

Answer 4

You don't have to eat tofu. But it is a good source of protein. And since you won't be eating meat, you will need to find a way to get enough protein....

Answer 5

No, Navi you don't have to eat Tofu.  I am allergic to soy so I never had tofu.  There is so much to eat.  I am a vegan and I do great because I'm not a picky eater.  I eat everything.  I am so healthy now and food tastes so much better to me.  I eat beans and rice, vegetarian chili, salads, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, grain, protein shakes, and rice milk.  If you are going to be a vegetarian but not a vegan then you can still have dairy and eggs.  I was a vegetarian until I saw the video on meat.com.  When I saw the chickens and dairy cows were the worst treated then I gave up dairy and eggs.  It isn't hard.  Just do your research and make sure you get enough protein.  Everyone makes comments about us vegetarians because people don't like when we do things differently from the way that they do it.  In addition to lesbos people also call us hippies and some other words that I won't repeat but I am proud to be a vegan so I don't care what people think.  It's a personal choice.

Answer 6

no but u should probably be able to spell tofu

Answer 7

nope. otherwise i wont be one. i hate tofu with a passion. its the equivalent to meat to me.

Answer 8

No, you don't have to eat tofu to be a vegetarian. It's only typical because it's one of the best way to get protein because most proteins unforunately come from animals. I love Boca Burger products and Morningstar Farm products--they have things like meatless Chick'n Nuggest and meatless burgers. :) Click on the link to find some recipes. Good luck and congrats!

Answer 9

No way do you have to eat tofu. Although you might try it different ways and end up liking it.

I suggest you start with eating your favorite stuff, and just leave out the meat. I'm not a vegetarian, but I have a few ideas for you.

You could make stir fry (or fried rice) with rice and your favorite asian sauce and veggies.

You can do lots of pastas with alfredo's and speghetti and pesto sauces with garlic bread.

Wraps are really great with all sorts of cheese or rice and salad dressings inside.

Mexican food will work really good without meat too.

Anyway, those are just a few thoughts for you. Don't be afraid to get creative and make sure you get some protien by eating beans, nuts and peanut butter.

Answer 10

I don't know where your mother heard that nonsense.

Tofu is made from a bean. What would be so special about it?

Bread, pasta, cereal, rice, beans, peas, lentil, nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies are all that you need for a balanced diet.

Vegweb.com is a popular place to get veg recipes but I don't always trust that they're recipes are any good because anyone can post them.

I like to use recipes from http://www.foodnetwork.com

and change whatever I need to so that it fits into my diet.

Answer 11

you do not have to. but try some tofu dishes you might find that you like them.

Answer 12

I am a vegetarian and i hate tofu. I just don't like it. However, you do need a good source of protein, so eat nuts and take vitamins.

Being a vegetarian is a very girly thing to do. Don't be under the impression that vegetarians are lesbians. That is a silly notion. I actually became a vegetarian because I grew up believing that eating meat was a guy thing. Don't ask me why but it just didn't seem feminine!  

Do not let people pressure you into this decision! It is your choice. And really, most people don't need to know.

Answer 13

Oh, for pity's sake!  There are plenty of vegetarians who do not like or eat tofu, just as there are many meat-eaters who do not like one type of meat or another.  Don't be silly.  Tell your mom that, but cool down first and tell her very politely.  That way she'll listen.

It might be helpful if you were to find some recipes for some normal food that does not include meat.  Meatless chili comes to mind, as does from-scratch macaroni and cheese.  Cheese ravioli in a nice red sauce would work.  Bean and cheese burritos have no meat.  Neither does spaghetti with alfredo sauce.  

Make sure you figure a way to get enough protein and other nutrients from other sources than meat, so you stay healthy.

Answer 14

Ok, for the record here:

1. No, you don't have to eat tofu to be vegetarian. Although it defintely helps.

2. I've made out with a number of vegetarian and vegan females, putting me in doubt that all veggie females are lesbians.

3. Recipes for non meat food: type vegetarian recipes in any search engine, and you'll be bowled over by the amount of results.

Good luck :)

Answer 15

wait...u dont know vegetarian means no meat, fish, or poultry...not just meat...it means nothing that once had a face. i dont understand why ppl think vegetarian means only no meat...its everything.

Answer 19

If you are going to be a vegetarian, you need to find a way to ensure that you are still getting high quality (lots of amino acids) protein.

Rice and beans is one good way.

Whey protein shakes are another.

No, you don't need to eat tofu or soy. (In fact, too much soy is not very good for you.)
