  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.

    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?

      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

        How does that compare to the average bovine?

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

    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.

  Shouldn’t be a surprise, that some people are dumb as hell.
