Yes, so 76% of soy is fed to livestock. What part of that aren't you getting?
you aren't get the part where 90% of that is industrial waste, nor the amount that goes to cattle.
How do you interpret "soybeans processed to soy cakes FOR FEED" as industrial waste. They are processed for digestibility, not as waste.
the soybeans are put in an oil press. the byproduct is what we feed to livestock. but it seems like you already understand almost no soy goes to cattle at all, so I don't know why you keep arguing
You can keep saying that, but it doesn't make it true. Your initial statement was that almost no soy is fed directly to animals. If the oil was removed, the animals would not get the full nutrition from it that they need. You continue to demonstrate your arrogant lack of understand of understanding of the subject.
you actually don't know anything about how soy is used. you're exposing your ignorance.
Lol, ok, sure

I said almost no soy goes to cattle. go back and reread
