attack the capitalist system.
the oil, which makes up only about 20% of the bean, is about half its value when it's pressed for oil. we can speculate either way, but we call it an oil press, not a cake press.

85% of all soy is pressed for oil. giving the byproduct of that process to livestock is a conservation of resources
