        Did you know that soybean oil is the first cause of deforestation in the Amazon? It’s not a story vegans would tell you though

            This is exactly what I read on two different papers. One of them being this

            Not a single mention of soybean oil

            Edit: soy is included but still not even close to cattle ranching and the small scale farming also includeds palm oil and sugarcane

              Even funnier, is that the economic driving force of the soy industry is soybean meal for animal feeds compared to soybean oil.

              Based on the productivities of soybean oil and soybean meal, revenues from soybean oil and soybean meal are ~23% and ~77% respectively. Though the oil expelling process is used to produce oil, the soybean meal is actually the driving force for the whole production system.

              It makes no sense to grow soybeans on land that was previously a rain forest. Soybeans require loose, well drained soil, basically the opposite of rain forest.

              Yeah, “papers”, right. More like “vegan propaganda” because PETA wants to keep making soy burgers for vegans without being held accountable

                  As soon as being vegan is deemed illegal, I will, yes

                    Honestly I’m more interested in the idea that you would abandon your principles as soon as the state tells you to than any of the trolling you’ve done so far
