Like destroying rain forests to provide you with soy protein, you mean?

Myth.

Vast majority of that soya is used as cheap cattle feed.

Are you sure?

UK Government statistics show that in 2015/16 total imports of soy
beans, soy meal and soy oil totalled 3.1 million tonnes. Of this
approximately:

1.1 million tonnes (35%) was fed to livestock,
1.42 million tonnes (45%) was used in food products for humans,
0.58 million tonnes (18%) was used in non-food products.

I would say a minority of soy imports go to feed cattle and wondering
why you think differently?

I was responding to the claim that soya grown on land from destroyed
rain forest was used to feed vegans.

So does the stats say where the soya came from. Most S.American Soya is GM.

Most Soya in the human food chain is not GM and a lot os grown in the EU.
