Re:Food waste responsible for 10% of global emissions? by kube-system on Friday April 09, 2021 @04:09PM (#26755458)
I am not the person who wrote that comment above, but they did not say "90% of soy" -- they said "90% of that soy", referring to soy grown in areas of tropical deforestation.

I have no clue if the assertion is correct.

Edit: FWIW, it appears that US soy is mostly used for livestock:

And globally, even a higher percentage:

> About 85 percent of the world’s soybean crop is processed into meal and vegetable oil, and virtually all of that meal is used in animal feed.
