Indeed lets tear down forests to build soya fields for all that fake meat tofu.

But the real meat requires much more soy for animal feed so it's still a better choice.
You must have been misinformed, they tear down forests to grow soya to use as feedstock (mostly for beef). Nothing to do with fake meat tofu, quite the opposite actually.
The point stands.
"I'm not going to stop openly blaming vegan products after learning it's actually beef manufacturing that consumes all this soy" or how should one read this comment?
What was your point? My point is that if more people were vegan there would be less deforestation. Instead of eating the beef that eats the soy, you eat the soy directly, which is much more efficient. It's unclear if you think it's false or if you had a totally different point.

Why bring the vegans into that when they are the ones consuming the fewest resources?
