I ate tofu before I was vegan, but man I've upped my tofu game since then. Pan fry it and finish with sesame oil and soy sauce, and its a game changer.
I know it's a bit of a meme to say "you just haven't had the right one yet", but I think a lot of people get the idea of mushy plain tofu and are rightly turned off. It's so frickin good when you make it right.
To be fair, I didn't lose any weight after going vegan. You can still stuff your face with vegan junk food. Lol.
