    Well, in that case we could just mix the soy protein in other foods, I guess.

    But I’d also suspect that we wouldn’t need the quantities of soy oil, and we just use that because of the synergy with the livestock food.

      we already feed people soy. but we make a lot more than people want to eat. feeding it to livestock is a conservation of resources

        How is converting it to animal protein with a factor of at best 10:1 conservation of resources? Conservation of resources would be to produce less, and also produce less livestock.
