Complaining about tofu being bland is the equivalent of saying that a blank canvas is boring.
Saying you hate tofu is such a self own. It is one of and maybe the most versatile food of all time. It is cheap. It’s macros are at parity with chicken breast. It keeps well AND is much safer (food safety and healthwise) than meat.
I can confirm as someone going from eating meat with every meal to vegan, basic ass fried tofu tastes better than most restaurant meat these days.
What is even wilder is that the US grows a lot of soybeans, and the ideal target for MAGA would probably be a soybean farmer.
I read before that consumers are not logical at all and it blew my mind. All purchases are emotional. A man goes and buys a gigantic truck and says it is because “he needs it to do work”, because his appraisal of himself is he doesn’t believe in BS, he is logical, he is the one who gets things done.
But the marketers know the truth: he is buying the truck because he is insecure, socially scared and wants to project intimidation at others. He is a conformist who wants admittance to the “in-group”. For this reason, he will financially overcompensate to “prove” his manliness to himself and the in-group.
The man purchasing isn’t self-aware enough to recognize his own motives, which makes it easier for the salesperson to exploit their vulnerabilities for profit. Sales 101 textbooks basically say this : in order to sell something, you put forward an unspoken emotional proposition disguised as a logical choice.
