Meat production is much, much more agressive on the biodiversity of land than veggies with comparable nutritional value. Lots of research shows that. Not only is the area needed to farm animals immense, but then you also need to grow feed crops like soy and corn to feed the animals. Both are major sources of deforestation. You are absolutely wrong.
the vast majority of the soy fed to animals is the industrial waste from soybean oil production. it's a conservation of resources, not an expenditure
That's not true. We're way past that point.
oh? so the owidx chart that shows 70% of all soy by weight being fed to animals as "soy cake" or "soy meal" is outdated? I would happily believe that if you present some evidence.
My point is that at the scale we're doing it, this is not a waste product. It's just a product like the oil is a product. We like calling things a waste product to make us feel better about our exploitative behaviours. Like how we call leather a waste product of the dairy industry. It's not waste, it's just another product.
using a byproduct that would otherwise go to waste is good
oof.
No, it's not. That's a myth.
