    If you had bothered to go to the link,

    Ed is quoting some pretty misleading statistics to support your point. if this is the best that you have, you might want to reconsider your position.

        about 85% of all soybeans are pressed for oil for human uses. but a soybean is only about 20% oil altogether. that leaves 69% of the soybeans as industrial waste. feeding that industrial waste to animals is actually conserving resources.

        so it’s not even true that the land used to make food for animals isn’t used to make food for people: it’s the same land.
