Even if you go by that logic what do you think cows eat? Way more soy beans are fed to a cow to produce the same amount of food for a human compared to if that human just ate the soy themselves. Veganism saves plant lives too.
cattle hardly eat any of the global soy crop. and only about 7% of the global soy crop is fed directly to animals. most of what is fed to livestock is the industrial waste from pressing soybeans for oil
What rubbish. The vast majority of soy feeds animal agriculture. https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/soy-story
....after we extract oil from it
Rather that just being sinical why not try and find a reference? Here's another one https://ourworldindata.org/drivers-of-deforestation
I'm not being cynical. what I said is true
Reference?
your own last link has a chart that shows soy use. do you see how (almost) every bit of soy fed to livestock is soycake/soy meal? that is the byproduct of pressing soybeans for oil. if we didn't give it to livestock, it would be industrial waste.
What world are you on? Approximately 13% to 20% of the world's soy is used directly for oil (both human consumption and industrial/biofuel use). While nearly 77% of global soybean production is crushed for animal feed.
If you think different I'm open to being shown otherwise but it looks like you're straight wrong.
only 69% of the crop becomes soy cake. an additional 7% is given directly to livestock.
So I was misinformed on the percent of soy that was used from the oil industry. It still stands that most of it rather than being consumed by humans is eaten by animals. And not only is soy a high emission oil but that high percentage of the soy plant only makes up a small fraction of the feed by cattle.
the vast majority of what is consumed by animals would be waste from oil production. so humans do consume those beans, but give the leftovers to livestock. humans use 93 % of the soy, and any industrial waste is what is given to livestock
a soybean is only 20% oil. in order for 69% of the global crop to become suy cake, about 85% of the global crop must be pressed for oil. 20% of 85% is 17%. that's how much of the global soy crop ends up as oil according to that chart (between food oil and industrial applications).
I stand corrected my bad.
