Tofu; Pros and Cons.....Just sayin'

As a fairly inconsistent vegetarian, I'm torn on the issue of Soy.  A staple of non-meat eaters, soy products have both a good and a bad rap.  Shall we explore my oversimplified list of Tofu pros and cons?

Pros:
1. That superior feeling you get when everyone else at your table is ordering flesh (How barbaric).
2.  Its a complete protein (has all of the essential amino acids our bodies require). My trainer is always hassling me on the protein.  
3.  It reportedly can  lower HDL (bad cholesterol) if eaten regularly.  AKA it cancels out Doritos.
4.  Has more calcium than dairy products. Moooooooo
5. Isoflavones- apparently act as an estrogen in females- which helps fight certain cancers.
6. Cheap.

Cons:
1. Only tastes good fried.
2. Texture is somewhat spongy.
3.  Unless it is organic its likely to be genetically modified- no bueno.  Even organic is not perfect.
4.  Its cheap because of the way it is grown- which has an adverse effect on the environment- read Michael Pollan's book "The Omnivore's Dilemma."
5.  Effect on the Thyroid- possible endocrine disruptor.
6.  Isoflavones- you'll start acting like a bitch.
7. It's a common IgG allergen...which means you may not know you are sensitive to it

My verdict- OK in moderation.
