69% is a byproduct of soybean oil production. most people don’t want to eat soy cake. some people already do, but not enough to eat the entire crop. giving that to livestock is a conservation of resources.
Sure, I don’t doubt that humans can’t each the entire soy crop in much the same way they don’t eat the entirety of other crops. But there is still 76% of the production going towards animal agriculture. You’re not seriously suggesting that livestock only use the leftovers from soybean production from humans and produce no additional demand, are you?

7% is fed directly to livestock. 85% is pressed for oil. the byproduct is the vast majority of what is fed to livestock.
