the vast majority of the soy eaten by animals is the waste product from soybean oil production. that's a conservation of resources, and it's a good thing.
do you have a reference for this?

So your data set shows 76% used for animals and 4% for industry. That's very similar to the figures I referred to.
you can see that the vast majority of the uses are from soy meal or soy cake. that's the industrial waste from making soybean oil. exactly as I said.
