Yamei Kin was a Chinese physician and pioneer of tofu in America during World War I. Kin was a graduate of the Woman's Medical College in New York and worked as a doctor in China. During World War I she worked closely with the USDA conducting experiments to see if tofu could help overcome meat shortages. Between 1916 and 1918 she established a production plant in New York City in the hope of supplying tofu to increase the bulk and food value of meat dishes served to soldiers in training at near-by camps. In 1917, Kin was interviewed by The New York Times Magazine. She discussed the versatility of the soybean and helped popularize it in America.
