And the global south’s land. Soybeans grown for wealthy countries are often more profitable than local staple crops. Not to mention that growing the same crop year after year depleted nutrients in the soil, so replenishing it artificially is necessary even if the locals somehow manage to get the land back.
70% by weight is livestock feed because the beans are difficult for humans to digest. The oil is extracted for the soy products that humans consume.
Let he who is without soy cast the first boy.
“Few of us are aware of how much soy we eat - because we tend to consume it indirectly. We may not eat large quantities of soy directly, but the animals we eat, or from which we consume eggs or milk, do. In fact, almost 80% of the world’s soybean crop is fed to livestock, especially for beef, chicken, egg and dairy production (milk, cheeses, butter, yogurt, etc). Soy oil is used for cooking and can also be found in margarine, chocolate, ice cream or baked goods, as well as in cosmetics or soaps. Soy production has more than doubled over the last two decades.”
