    idk man i didn’t invent tofu scramble i just like the way it tastes and find tofu with no dressing/coating/browning/whatever to look relatively unappealing - especially tofu scramble because you aren’t browning the tofu at all (at least i don’t)

    also i wrote and deleted like 7 different reasons why i thought people do this with tofu scramble specifically but i think i just agree with you lol. i guess its mostly to give people who are transitioning to or trying out veganism a direct analog to a food they already are familiar with and feel like they are giving up? i’m more partial to food that is unabashedly plants over of the faux meats/etc, so i hadn’t considered that angle so much.

      I understand this reasoning, it just doesn’t work for me personally, it has the reverse effect, and they were really over the top about how they put it in solely to make it look like eggs, if they’d said it was to make it look nice i probably wouldn’t have reacted. I love paprika though and i think i would try that.
