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.

Do vegans even eat that much soy?

Vegan here, no not really. The energy industry (Primary driver of soy production) and animal ag industry (Largest consumer of soy by mass) just needed a scapegoat for the subsidies and overproduction.

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