        You do realise it’s waste product not suitable for human consumption

        For example waste spy product from the production of your soy milk which also uses a ton of water and drives deforestation

        The farms also kill farm pests with use of farming machines, pesticides and shotguns

        people don’t want to eat field corn, but the soy that is given to livestock is mostly the waste product from pressing soybeans for oil

          According to the Soy bean producers of North Carolina, the soymeal is a by product of the soy oil production, where a small portion is used for Tofu and Soy milk and the majority becomes animal feed: https://ncsoy.org/media-resources/uses-of-soybeans/

          So all of the soy protein given to animals would indeed be digestible by humans.

          Concerning the corn, we could just plant sweet corn instead, or any other plant really. Or what would prevent us from doing that?
