We won't see these jobs coming back to the US any time soon but we still have a responsibility to assure that those who work on these products are protected.
Julia, you don't have to eat legumes to eat a plant-based diet. It isn't necessary to worry about protein at all, for that matter.
What it really comes down to is, if there is a will there is a way. And the way is not difficult. There is probably no food that contains a needed nutrient that can't be found in another food.
It isn't necessary for humans to eat soy products at all.
For some of you this may come as news. No, vegans do not need some specialized form of protein. Protein - plenty of it, more than we need - is available in almost every food we eat. We have no biological need to find concentrated versions of it.
Nor do we need soy products for anything else. We may use them; we do not require them.
A couple reasons this argument is ridiculous:
1. Immigrants exist. If they were not in this country they'd be in another. Whatever effect they have on the planet based on their existence is already there.
2. It isn't the number of persons that matters; it's the consumption! Simple but seems so hard to grasp. We all know that Americans consume far more per person than any other citizens on earth. That's the problem.
