    "B-but most of it was burned for soy production!"

    Soy production for what motherfucker?

    The Answer

    Animal feed. Something like less than 5% of produced soy is consumed by humans.

          usually people are fairly chill about me being a vegan, that insufferable prick was full on reddit brained though

            I was referring to soypoint-1 ”Soy is bad for the environment too!” specifically, that's one of most common carnist go-tos.

              ”Soy is bad for the environment too!”

              most people i interact with daily don't know the reddit comebacks to veganism, including the soy one. Usually they just go" Where do you get protein though? sutherland-point" and that's easy enough to answer

              edit: mind you this is in Finland and a lot of the people around me are sweet older people and barely have facebook so I dont usually run into carnist edgelords
