Oh in that case we better stop... uh.. eating animals since that drives demand for 77% of Soy consumption [0].

I know we must engage in good faith but the soy scaremongering sure does seem coordinated.

I don't think it follows that because the largest fraction of soy consumption is as animal feed, that animal agriculture drives soy consumption. Soy animal feed is mostly a byproduct of soy oil and biofuel production. If not for that production, we'd just move to the next cheapest feed.
