alt Hacker News>It's the whole reason that tofu isn't more popular
I wouldn't be so sure to claim that it is more popular. Tofu is big in asian countries.
Pork is more popular not because it's somehow superior. It's popular in the west because that was historically available so that's what people there know how to "grow" and cook.

... you realize Asia consumes 3-4x more pork than tofu, right?
The argument's comparative, though.
Most tofu eating countries absolutely loooooooooove pork. China's pork consumption puts the rest of the world in fun-fact tier.
Think Indonesia is the outlier given that pork is haram.
