    This seems to reinforce my point. Surely 75% of production is not simply wastage otherwise. This is even ignoring the fact that I provided a source showing that deforestation by soy is far less problematic than it used to be.

      the soybean is only 20% oil. we extract 17% of the global crop as oil. we must find something to do with that waste product.
