One thing I always hear is that the rainforest is killed to make room for soy agriculture. And because vegans eat a lot of soy they kill the rainforest.
That that soy is mainly used to feed animals for meat/dairy production is conveniently ignored.

The answer to why so many animals suffer their entire life so they can be eaten afterwards.

Do vegans even eat that much soy?

Vegan here, no not really. The energy industry just needed a scapegoat for soy subsidies and overproduction.

That’s all true… although I’m a shitty vegan who eats a Fuck ton of soy. 😅

Not vegan per se but I eat a block of tofu a day as well as another several servings of roasted edamame most days. Like 6-8 servings per day on average

Girl that is like so much soy 😭😭😭 you’re like the potato guy* I met but for soy
*potato guy: decided to eat only potatoes for 6 weeks, slight amount of milk and salt being a treat on the weekends. He heard that potatoes had all essential nutrients. He gave up bc he became ill in that last week. Yes he’s heterosexual.

Am vegan. Certainly don’t eat nearly as much as @Carnelian@lemmy.world. But it is a pretty flexible food. Like, I can get soy yoghurt that tastes like the real deal. I can get TVP, which is chewy like a steak. I just had fucking noodles out of 85% soy + 15% chickpeas, and they actually tasted good. And of course, the all-time classic: Soy sauce.
I don’t stan for it nearly as much as many others, because other legumes and nuts are awesome, too, but you just can’t deny that soy covers a lot of bases quite well.

In Brazil the forests are mostly cleared to make way for cattle or soy, and most of the soy goes to become animal food. If anything, vegans are less responsible for the deforestation than non-vegans.

Perhaps also worth adding that here in Europe, lots of soy is now actually being grown regionally, as it can withstand the higher temperatures we now have from climate change…
