Food Products With Soy Beans

Soy beans were a viable substitute for other sources of dietary protein during WWII. After little more than a decade, the U.S. exported more than 90% of world soy protein.

These days, the majority of soy is still cultivated for the production of textured protein, soy oil and soy meal is used as feed for farm animals including cattle, poultry, pork and other commercially raised animals.
