Well, if you're living in a country that used to have meat but then got compulsory vegetarianism forced on you, you probably WOULD be looking for the meat substitute.
Besides, tofu is funny. And I say this as someone who loves the stuff, and who comes from a culture where we really do make it into tofu-soup, fried-tofu, mock-meat tofu, tofu-drinks, tofu-sauces, and so on.
