    Sure, I don’t doubt that humans can’t each the entire soy crop in much the same way they don’t eat the entirety of other crops. But there is still 76% of the production going towards animal agriculture. You’re not seriously suggesting that livestock only use the leftovers from soybean production from humans and produce no additional demand, are you?
