"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

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.
