The Growing Power of Big Tofu

It's true! Vegeterrorists are trying to dictate what you may eat.

From attacks on movie theater popcorn to fast food burgers, Big Tofu wants to keep you from dining on steak, French fries, soda and anything else it deems bad for you. The top priority: protect you from yourself by imposing its vegan-leaning, beans-and-rice, “if-it-tastes-good-it-must-be-bad-for-you” views on what constitutes a proper diet.

As laughable as that may sound, the food nannies wield considerable influence in Congress, the media and state governments. Nowhere has this influence been as strong as in the state of California, where yesterday’s anti-establishment radicals are today’s elected officials. And by using its pull in the nation’s most populous state Big Tofu is increasingly in the position to dictate food policy to the other 49.
