Aloha Tofu Friday!
World Tofu Day was created by the Society
for the Protection of Animals (SPA) Canada and the first World
Tofu Day was marked in 2014. In Montreal, at least 12,000 people
attended a vegan barbecue on the inaugural celebration. Tofu is
made from soybeans that are curdled and then pressed into blocks.
It is high in protein, relatively low in calories, and low in
carbohydrates. It is low in saturated fat but higher in
heart-healthy fats. Tofu contains iron, magnesium, manganese,
selenium, and calcium, and is sometimes fortified with other
minerals and vitamins.

Over the next six months, we will keep you informed of our progress in finding a new haven for our next chapter."
