    What if we stopped growing so many soybeans for export, and instead grew crops to feed human people in the United States? I know I know, it’s crazy talk.

      Historically it’s because the soybean market is growing soy and selling it to China. I think the US demand for soybeans for human consumption is met by US production. You’d have to create a lot of demand to make soybeans worth growing if they aren’t selling overseas

            And do something to fight hunger in the United States? Sounds socialist. Better to let it rot in the fields /s

            What by teaching people how to eat Tofu? Can you see how well that would go over in rural America? They’re still reminiscing about the government cheese.
