calling me a shill doesn’t change the fact that 85% of all soy is crushed for oil

meal is the majority of the weight of the soybean, but oil is about half the value of the soybean while only being 20% of the weight. they don’t process soybeans in meal presses: it’s processed in oil presses.

it speaks to what i’ve been saying this whole time, and your insult and derision does nothing to undermine the facts.
your inability to communicate without namecalling says a lot more about you than it does about what i’m saying.

this is just more namecalling.
it’s crazy how much i’ve learned about soybeans, and never bothered to look into the numbers on corn. you’ll forgive me if i look for my own sources though.
HEY YOUR SOYBEAN FACT SHEET REFLECTS THE GLOBAL NUMBERS REALLY CLOSELY!

what is fed to animals is the industrial waste from the oil processing. which is the comment i made that started your namecalling. i will accept an apology, but i will not tolerate any more insults.

Most of the revenue is the meal. Nobody would grow it for the oil.
Almost half of the oil is used for biodeisel. So even if it were exclusively for the oil (a lie) getting rid of 40% and getting rid of the meat would do more than green fertizer
Also all an attempt at distraction because humans could eat a plant grown there.
i never even suggested it is grown exclusively for oil.
i think it’s great that you cited a source that shows even as markets fluctuate over time, soybean oil punches far above its weight every year in the value of the crop.
according to the fao, only 1/5 to 1/4 of the oil goes to industrial uses.
humans DO eat the plants grown there.
