Is it though? If you’re referring to large scale farming of soybeans - you’re correct. But we use soy as a feed for animals. There would be no need to produce that amount if we were to eat it directly.

People switching to plant based nutrition is by far better environmentaly.

Remember that processing soy into textured vegetable protein costs energy and generates waste. Switching to plant based meat subs is better for the environment. Switching to plants is best.

I completely agree! But I think that it’s easier for families to use those products since it’s an alternative to what they’re already cooking. I prefer to cook using unprocessed plants - but don’t really see a fault in supplying an alternative to meat.

Damn. Now I’m craving a black bean burger.
