What about soy derivates being used as estrogens by the body suppressing testosterone.
Plus to keep soy fields you have to spray more pesticides than everything else.

In fact, almost 80% of the world’s soybean crop is fed to livestock, especially for beef, chicken, egg and dairy production (milk, cheeses, butter, yogurt, etc).

the vast majority of the soybean product that is fed to animals is the byproduct of producing soybean oil. feeding animals industrial waste is a good use of it.
Sorry for replying only now. Do you know what soy does to pollutants present in the terrain used to cultivate it?
“Grok says”
"Soil Contamination: The intensive use of agrochemicals can lead to the accumulation of toxic residues in the soil. While soybeans require fewer fertilizers due to their nitrogen-fixing ability, herbicides are applied to 98% of U.S. soybean fields, and fungicides and insecticides are used on 22% and 20% of fields, respectively. These chemicals can degrade soil health over time and contribute to pollutant buildup.

Heavy Metal Accumulation: Soybeans are bioaccumulators, meaning they can uptake heavy metals like cadmium, lead, or arsenic from contaminated soil, water, or fertilizers. These metals can accumulate in the soybean grain, potentially entering the food chain. This property is sometimes exploited for bioremediation (cleaning contaminated soils), but it also means soy grown on polluted terrain may concentrate these contaminants.
Heavy Metals in Soy and Their Relevance to Allergies
Heavy Metal Uptake by Soybeans:
Soybeans are bioaccumulators, capable of absorbing heavy metals like cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg) from contaminated soils, water, or fertilizers. For example, studies have shown soybeans can accumulate cadmium from phosphate fertilizers or polluted irrigation water, with concentrations varying based on soil conditions.
These metals can end up in soy-based foods (e.g., tofu, soy milk, or animal feed), potentially entering the human food chain.
Allergic Reactions and Heavy Metals:
Direct Allergic Potential: Heavy metals themselves are not common allergens, but they can act as haptens—small molecules that bind to proteins in the body, potentially triggering immune responses. For instance, nickel and cobalt are known to cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals, though this is less relevant for ingested metals in soy.
Soy Allergens and Metal Interactions: Soy is one of the top eight food allergens, with proteins like Gly m 5 and Gly m 6 triggering reactions in sensitive individuals. There’s no direct evidence that heavy metals in soy exacerbate these allergic reactions, but metals can cause oxidative stress or inflammation, potentially amplifying immune responses in predisposed individuals. For example, cadmium exposure has been linked to increased inflammation, which could theoretically worsen allergic symptoms, though specific studies on soy are lacking.
Environmental Exposure: Heavy metals in soil or water from soy cultivation runoff (e.g., in Brazil’s Cerrado or U.S. Midwest) can contaminate local ecosystems, leading to inhalation or skin exposure in nearby communities. Chronic low-level exposure to metals like lead or arsenic may sensitize immune systems, potentially increasing susceptibility to allergies, though this is speculative and not well-studied in the context of soy specifically.
“Grok” say so.

I dont care. I’m still eating meat. I always finish my meals and I hate wasted food. I’m not going to feel guilty that your skinny ass survives on fucking leaves, nuts and beans that turns you into an ultrapreachy unbearable cunt. And stop diverting attention from your fucking palm oil and avacado farms

We should keep their brain, dick and balls so we can clone the billionaires (adult sized from the clone-0-matic) then before they wake up, we upload their mind, and we fuck them with their own dick! Hey if you collect enough you could open up an only fans Page!

Can’t we all just agree 8 billion people is silly? Think about how much of it is just completely redundant. The main focus really should be massive population reduction.
Edit: Also, no, I don’t mean killing off anyone, just reducing birth rates will do fine. We know even just a simple high school education reduces birth rates.

Reducing birthrates is not genocide. As long as the population continues to increase, human life will be more and more devalued as we continue to choose quantity over quality of life because of a DNA delusion.
It literally is genocide, by definition. I know you think you are correct and moral, just like everyone else that ends up thinking stuff like this, but you’re not. You need serious psychiatric help as soon possible.

im a vegan with a soy allergy. not seeing the correlation
