This may just be a trend in the great state of Oregon but I've talked to more families cooking fricking tofu turkeys because their teenagers is getting indoctrinated at school. One Dad told me he couldn't look into his daughter's blue eyes and say no. Is this something going on nationwide or is it a NW hippy liberal movement? I just don't know what is normal anymore.

One of my friends who is actually gluten free (he's been allergic since before this fad started) told me that tofu apparently increases estrogen levels in your body. I don't pay attention to such things, but it's a good enough reason for me not to eat something I wouldn't eat anyway. It's something worth looking into regardless if it's on the menu.

Otherwise, kids are probably just trying to find their way by experimenting with ideas. I don't see why you can't let them try it out by giving them some minor options, but it wouldn't stop me from eating turkey tomorrow.

Here's a snopes article on the tofu/soy/estrogen thing. Apparently it's kind of legit but inconclusive.

Why even bother with fake turkey? I'd rather just eat something else.

Some people really believe it helps them. I'm not really against it. If a kid wants to give it a try, no harm in that. I think cost is about the same, just have to invest time in reading labels and such.

Instead of worrying about this stuff, there should be more concern over why someone that no one voted for, the FLOTUS, unilaterally decided to jack up kids lunches across the country.

I get that is part of the individuation process. However, I am talking to families that are bending over backwards and making it their entire lifestyle. I heard one Dad complaining about it but say "I can't cook a steak in front of her." He's creating a monster.

This country says that about a lot of issues. Yet the SJW's always make the country cave

I think I should've explained it more in the OP. These families aren't cooking Tofu with the Turkey...they're cooking the tofu turkey in lieu of the actual Turkey.

If you don't have celiac disease you don't have a problem with gluten.
