So you’d recommend only eating animals until they are endangered and then eating other animals until they are no longer? Is that what you want to express?
Or are you arguing that some animals are more sentient than others (e.g. mammals vs mussels), and we should switch to eating snails and mussels only, because of that?
I didn’t say which one is better choice. Killing cows may be preferential as fewer beings have to exist and extinction is preferable. Or you use another metric. I don’t care. Just be consistent and sensible in your arguments.
According to the Soy bean producers of North Carolina, the soymeal is a by product of the soy oil production, where a small portion is used for Tofu and Soy milk and the majority becomes animal feed: https://ncsoy.org/media-resources/uses-of-soybeans/
So all of the soy protein given to animals would indeed be digestible by humans.

Concerning the corn, we could just plant sweet corn instead, or any other plant really. Or what would prevent us from doing that?

Now it might be true that a lot of people don’t want to eat Tofu Tempe and Soy milk, but we could as well plant any other vegetable instead of Soy beans, and who could resist some delicious Brussel sprouts for example???
How is converting it to animal protein with a factor of at best 10:1 conservation of resources? Conservation of resources would be to produce less, and also produce less livestock.
Wanna guess how many plants are wasted to feed animals, only for humans to eat them?
fun fact: we kill between 1 and 3 TRILLION animals a year for food and textiles.
Wait, that’s not a fun fact!
That’s it? I was hoping to see at least 10 trillion animals killed this year… /s
we? I don’t. stop it.
Yeah, I used the royal we.
Not all animals are the same. Killing an endangered dolphin weighs much different to eating a mussel.

Just saying their figure is completely irrelevant since not all are created equally.
We should probably substitute meat by eating more mollusks. They are rather eco friendly. And insects, probably.
A chicken is also much smaller than a cow.
Your penis is also much smaller than a cow, or a chicken. Should we all start eating your dick? Seems like size does matter indeed.

Well you should probably stop eating fish then, because trawling absolutely does kill dolphins. Its called by-catch.
Do you understand what am example is? Most fishing trawlers don’t fish in the Amazonas river. So you are somewhat wrong.
Yeah I think you are right.
To be completely fair, some plants actually produce fruits with the intent of them being eaten, because that’s their way of Zoochorie/Hemerochorie
Plants that humans wouldnt be able to digest efficiently anyway, unlesss you are talking about the more bourgeois meats
Like soy and corn, which famously can’t be digested by humans.
You do realise it’s waste product not suitable for human consumption
For example waste spy product from the production of your soy milk which also uses a ton of water and drives deforestation
The farms also kill farm pests with use of farming machines, pesticides and shotguns

people don’t want to eat field corn, but the soy that is given to livestock is mostly the waste product from pressing soybeans for oil

Wanna know how many of those plants are waste product only and plants only suitable for animal consumption
Do you see a human eating hay
Cut the greenwashing crap
Is hay the only thing that can grow on that land? Could we grow food humans like instead?
You do need to think things through a bit more than that.
none. not really. if we are using it, it’s not wasted, and much of what we feed livestock is plants or parts of plants that people can’t or won’t eat

if we don’t plant soybeans, we won’t get soybean oil
Well, in that case we could just mix the soy protein in other foods, I guess.
But I’d also suspect that we wouldn’t need the quantities of soy oil, and we just use that because of the synergy with the livestock food.
we already feed people soy. but we make a lot more than people want to eat. feeding it to livestock is a conservation of resources
How is converting it to animal protein with a factor of at best 10:1 conservation of resources? Conservation of resources would be to produce less, and also produce less livestock.
otherwise it would be waste after we press the soybean for oil
