about 85% of all soybeans are pressed for oil for human uses. but a soybean is only about 20% oil altogether. that leaves 69% of the soybeans as industrial waste. feeding that industrial waste to animals is actually conserving resources.
so it’s not even true that the land used to make food for animals isn’t used to make food for people: it’s the same land.
i’m so glad you used this. you can find this graph there that shows that almost all the soy we feed to animals is the industrial waste from oil production
Ed is quoting some pretty misleading statistics to support your point. if this is the best that you have, you might want to reconsider your position.

sure, but there are not enough people who want to eat soycake for the amount of oil that we produce. so giving it to animals is as good a use as any.

what does this have to do with what we are discussing, or how many mice were killed for that bun?
the vast majority of soy (85%) is pressed for oil.
