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.
according to the fao, only 1/5 to 1/4 of the oil goes to industrial uses.
humans DO eat the plants 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.
