Soy is pressed for oil. The remaining meal is used almost exclusively for livestock feed. Its not good for much else.
As for corn, it takes 0.8lbs of corn to make 1lb of meat. Its a net gain. The difference comes from grazing of course. And before we talk about "that grazing land could have been used for grain", only 8pct of US grazing land could be converted to cropland.
