America feeds livestock soy. Most of the world doesn’t. Most land live stock is kept on can’t be used to grow crops.

- themk 2y agoHmm, I don't have numbers, but I'm pretty sure UK feeds soy to livestock (e.g. chickens). But, I was just answering the question. And 70% of soy grown globally goes to feeding animals. And while I agree that some (I doubt it's most, but happy to see numbers) cattle is raised on marginal lands, that isn't the point being made. Animal agriculture is still the leading cause of deforestation. Also, just because land can't grow crops doesn't mean it has to be cleared of it's native flora and fauna to grow meat. It's still deforestation.
