Is this true? "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis. Human beings see oppression vividly when they're the victims. Otherwise they victimize blindly and without a thought."

As far as the tofu liquid, I have never given it much thought and I have been eating for 20 years! haha You can always be enlightened in a new way, you never stop learning. That said? I have no idea! Sorry! Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.

I don't like to waste stuff, but you'd have to really sell me on NOT pouring the tofu juice down the drain. I had duplicated the post by mistake and it was deleted. I think Susan answered there saying that if the tofu liquid has calcium (and magnesium too I think) in it (it says on the package), it's perfectly healthy.

I suspect that what your web demonstrator was talking about was the liquid left over after you make your own tofu. I have never heard of anyone recommending using the former; I have frequently heard of people using the later. Personally, I have never attempted to make my own tofu so I have no experience with the liquid remaining after the tofu has been extracted from the soy milk.
