Grilling some meats is reputed to increase cancer risk thanks in part to chemical compounds called HCAs, which form at high temperatures. So what’s a July 4th cook to do?
Their answer: Grill tofu.
My answer? Grill more meat — preferably beef, or something you killed yourself like venison — and eat it. Wash it down with a beer.
Life. You’ll never get out alive, so enjoy it while you have it. 🙂

HOO frickin’ RA my friend. I like the way you think!
You know, eat meat… you die. Eat tofu… you die. Either way you die.
If you honestly get off on eating tofu, then great! If that’s what gives you maximum enjoyment in life, by all means suck down the soybeans.
My take is we do all this stuff to try to avoid death (eating particular ways, not engaging in particular activities, etc.), that we never manage to enjoy life… then you get to your deathbed and what do you have to show for it? Enjoy your life.
Isn’t there a song or saying about “Rich man, poor man, they all end up the same way?”
I remember a Bloom County comic strip where Opus opined something to the effect of “eye boogers, the great social equalizer”.
eeeewwww tofu! Must have my grilled burgers and brauts!
Tofu isn’t necessarily horrible, and I certainly have enjoyed popping edamame into my mouth.
But there’s little satisfaction in it… at least, compared to the Ted Nugent mantra of “kill it and grill it”. 🙂
