Yes, although I suspect we'd actually make less soy oil without the demand for feed. I'm honestly not even sure what it's used for; most of the vegetable oils on sale where I live are different.

The corn case is pretty unambiguous. DDGS is a byproduct, white grease is probably a byproduct (maybe of pigs, which is "fun"), the rest looks purpose-made but isn't relevant here.

i don't know how we could prove this.

It's the perpetual problem in economics, right? That's fine though, I think I've made a reasonable case, and this isn't a court trial with an explicit standard of proof.
