Eh, we could always buy the extra soybeans to feed hungry people here and abroad through the many welfare programs that… definitely still exist… right?

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get the average person to lean into soy?

In fact, the alt-right have been using it as an insult since 2012 exactly because of its public image

You have to call it edamame just to get people to eat it!

You're onto something here. Let's have our best engineers weaponize the soybeans to use on protestors

The spirit of capitalism is to destroy surplus

Checks notes I am afraid that was cut as well when DOGE hacked through USAID.

The best we can offer the US farmers is thoughts and prayers with a side of leopard eating their faces.

And do what with it? There is a reason why it's huge in china and Asia, it's a staple. Most people don't like soybeans because it's not eco friendly crop. Also soybean isn't consumed by the majority of people, there better foods out there
