Sorry for your loss mate.

They never implied you were white, they implied you were racist.

The fsct that only replied to the person agreeing with you and not the 10 people who disagreed with you is pretty telling.

Far more than you have, I would wager.

About which part?

The demand for soybeans is currently tied to global meat consumption and is expected to grow

I don’t know what to tell you mate, this isn’t some closely guarded secret look at the history of the crop especially from the end of WW2 onwards.

None of what you are saying is necessarily untrue but you still have the cart before the horse. Soy is as widespread as it is because we can use it to sustain industrial livestock farming, it isn’t some happy side effect as much as it is the deliberate intention.

Which would be an argument against using palm instead of soy if we grew soy primarily for its oil, rather than gaining the oil as a byproduct of growing soy to feed animals.

We feed it everything else in the system except for the sun and hope it is appeased for another cycle :)

Cart before horse - before industrial scale animal farming relatively little soy oil was produced for human consumption. If we weren’t growing soy to use it mostly for animal feed we would grow things like palm oil, which grows in the same climate and yields something like 14x as many calories per acre on the same land.

Edit: Or instead of growing soy with the objective of making animal feed (with the added bonus of getting some oil from it) we could grow crops which have far higher calorific yields like maize, potatoes etc.

I mean if we’re talking magic now, then all bets are off haha

You talk about the forests of scotland, the vast majority of these are monoculture plantations with absolutely terrible biodiversity. By far the largest producers of meat in scotland are factory farms where animals are fed using things like soy, only a minority of livestock entering the food market are reared anything like sustainably.

There is nowhere near enough land to grass feed the amount of ruminants that we consume, so feed crops need to be grown or imported.

Thanks, but I believed you that he said it, I was asking for any sort of source to back it up. The argument he makes in that interview is terrible and should in no way inform your opinion unless you have actual evidence to back it up.

Think about it for a second, no, half a second and see if anything occurs to you.

Source?

The moons would almost certainly fall into Jupiter or be thrown from its orbit if itsuddenly gained enough mass to become a star.

and the fact it invented buddhism.

Siddhartha was born in what is now Nepal.

Your height range for women you would date overlaps with the height range you consider to be kids?

What do you mean by respected?
