    They are as much experts on soy as you are, except you have vested interests in this discussion being a cattle farmer.

    :pac:

    Thelonious your comments are little better than a busted record. Yes it is an area I have studied. And I even visited soy production facilities abroad. But no - you nothing of my occupation. And no I have no shares or financial interest in the soy industry. Happy?

    To be fair Thelonious and considering your considerable record of hatchet jobbing agriculture and rural areas - it might be better for you to declare your 'vested interests'. Just a suggestion. No worries if you dont wish to.

    Please do note I am on record of being against soy cultivation in the Amazon - whether that is for oil or for human or animal consumption

    You should get into politics. Tar just rubbished this nonsense about soy being produced for oil and you completely ignore the points she made.
    There is literally no point discussing anything with you, and you ruin every thread you post in.

    This is all from the cash flow section of the phd link you provided gozunda

    For extruding / expelling process
    In these three scales, soybean meal has the most remarkable effect on the net profit in all levels of price changes, followed by soybeans and then soybean oil. This indicates soybean meal plays an important role in the process, and is seen as the driving force for the extrusion expelling technique used in the industry

    For Hexane Extraction -
    For 86.61 million kg of annual soybean oil production, soybeans have the most significant effect on the net profit, followed by soybean meal and oil.

    For EAEP
    The effects of products on net profit change show insoluble fiber has the highest impact, followed by soybean hull and soybean oil; with the revenue from skim having the least effect on net profit change. This result indicates the main product, soybean oil, is not the main driving force of the whole process; and co-products provide more profits than main product.

    Pretty much what Tar.Aldarion said

    You mean join with you in our own looney green party who wish to reintroduce wolves and double the population? No thanks. Though I suppose one would possibly take care of the other :D

    But you are correct. That is not discussion. The ruin is your own I'm afraid.

    I find it hard to discuss anything with you because you give me the creeps, bigtime.
    For the record, I don't think wolves should be reintroduced.
    See above from sbsquarepants. The link you provided says
    "This result indicates the main product, soybean oil, is not the main driving force of the whole process; and co-products provide more profits than main product."

    Do you dispute this? Why did you post the link if it contradicts what you're saying about soybean oil?

    Moral agency, shamefully copied and pasted from google.

    "Moral agency is an individual's ability to make moral judgments based on some notion of right and wrong and to be held accountable for these actions. A moral agent is "a being who is capable of acting with reference to right and wrong."

    Animals don't have the intelligence for this. On top of this they are in no position to decide what food they can eat from a survival point of view and their bodies capability

    The point I'm making that if you are using a lion or a tiger as a reason why humans should eat meat, then in order to be logically consistent, you should be copying all their traits and not cherry picking whichever ones suits your argument

    To summarise, we are completely different and can't be compared that way


    I'm not saying why humans should eat meat, what I know - is that they do.

    We're not going to agree on this friend - but that's OK?

    Nope it doesn't I'm afraid. And more importantly none of that impacts on the fact that soy beans are primarily grown for oil. And what gets left over is flogged as animal feed.

    Look really no point in going further - quality references were asked for - you got them. I cant help if somec want to keep their heads firmly in the sand. Whatever Mathematical gymnastics are applied - it ain't going to change a single bean of that and none of that amounts to a hill of beans either

    See what I did there. :D

    But no mathematical gymnastics were applied. They just quoted directly from your "quality reference" . I think it's very unfair that you would call that gymnastics and not even try to respond. I think it might be you that's burying your head in the sand. For someone who supposedly studies soya production you have very few reputable sources and when you do provide one and then someone points out it doesn't say exactly what you said it does, you blatantly lie and accuse them of twisting it.

    Nice. That comment says more about the poster I'm afraid.

    But wrong again - I referred to the mad maths applied per bean elsewhere. Go check out the original discussion if you are really interested in the topic. The references support the fact that soy plants are primarily grown for oil and what is left over is flogged as animal feed. It's really not that hard to understand. That's it.

    Ok so you're saying tar.aldrion was doing mathematical gymnastics in an earlier post. But do you have anything to say about the pieces quoted from your own reference that suggest animal feed is the driving force.

    That's just not what the link you provided says -

    Conclusions
    Conclusively, though soybean oil is regarded as the main product of oil extraction operations, co-products contribute the major revenues. Therefore, co-products and their further applications are the driving forces of oil extraction processes.


    That's not mathematical gymnastics - that's what the expert you drafted in to back up your claims has concluded. Soy is clearly grown for animal feed purposes mainly.

    I think you forgot to mention this little detail no?

    Nearly all soybeans are processed for their oil. Soy processors (such as Cargill & ADM) take the raw soybeans and separate the oil from the meal. The oil may be refined for cooking and other edible uses, or sold for biodiesel production or industrial uses. The processors bake the high-protein fiber that is left after the oil is removed and sell it for animal feed.

    https://ncsoy.org/media-resources/uses-of-soybeans/





    All this describes is a process, i.e. that oil is extracted from most soybeans. It does not say that the oil is the most important part. And in a process, where something is divided into constituent parts, something will be removed and something else left behind. It's just phraseology - it does not mean that what is removed is the most valuable component. If that were the case, then in the process of making cheese, the whey is the most important part as that is removed and the curds are left behind.

    I'm done trying to debate because there literally is no point.

    No thats your foot :D

    Read that quote again...

    So it's not just me or the others who say that.
    "soybean oil is regarded as the main product of oil extraction operations". Grand so!

    And again the main point is that the soy beans are grown primarily for oil. Gram per gram the most valuable part of the bean. What gets leftover after that extraction is flogged as animal feed. If you wish to go further into the detailed economics of that - please go ahead. I'll leave you with that.

    .

    No, if you look a bit more closely you'll see it actually says the opposite of that. It says though soybean oil is regarded......it's actually not

    You know well what it means, sure haven't you studied it:D

    The fact you're still denying it says a lot to be honest.

    It says although people think of the oil as being the main product, actually more money is made by the co-products, so they are in fact the main reason for getting the oil.

    So basically soybean oil is a byproduct of animal feed production.

    i dont care for vegans , i eat meat, so what. My choice.

    so how is this global brainwash agenda to turn ppl vegan getting so much traction everywhere, its ***king non stop! news, social media, advertisements etc, relentless.

    i never gave a sh1te about ppl who did or didnt eat meat, same way other ppl who choose different lifestyles or whatever, do what you want.

    That green party , dont even get me started, pure rage when i hear / see them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,969 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles


    Yes but how do you feel about soy production, Banzai?

    I'm eager to get the discussion back to that.

    As nice as this inter-community schooling on soy is, can we not talk about the beauty and brevity of the point made by Mr Stabby Squirrel Eater, namely:

    -Breast implants

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭Banzai600


    i dont know enough re soy to inform a long answer, but i know its somewhat of exotic origin, which means a lot of production / transportation globally. after that, im out.

    And wrong again, but hey dont be changing things - 'nothing to do what people 'think' - the quote read "soybean oil is regarded as the main product of oil extraction operations". 

    What else oh yeah - Soy oil is the no 1 food grade oil on the world market. Demand is increasing year on year. If there was no demand then there would be oil extraction and all soy beans would be processed whole.

    But hey let's be friends and not quibble - if theres some important facts which came out of this discussion then thats a good thing! :)

    • Soy beans are physically processed for oil # 1 and animal feed # 2 in that order with animal feed (soy meal) being a left over of after the initial oil extraction process. (No oil equals no meal)

    • The biggest grower/ producer globally of whole soy beans is the US

    • Other countries growing soybeans include Brazil, India, Canada and Mexico etc

    • China imports and consumes the bulk of the world's soy beans, soy oil and soy meal combined with the bulk of that those imports coming from South America and especially Brazil

    • In the US - of the soy meal produced in the US 48 percent is fed to poultry, 26 percent to swine, 12 percent to beef cattle, 9 percent to dairy cattle, 3 percent is used in fish feed and about 2 percent in pet food.

    I reckon maybe a good idea to update all those websites - now everyone has learned something new ... ;)

    Possibly.

    As far as i'm concerned taking a perfectly good booby and stuffing it full of squidgy goo till it looks like a half football, is a crime against mother nature Isaias Chubby Temper......much like cutting down the rainforest to grow soy beans for gozundas cows to eat.:D
