Did you know that soy is one of the biggest

commodities in the food chain - and that we use soy oil in products

such as mayonnaise and spreads? Of course, in the majority of cases

it is its hidden indirect use in animal feed that leads to such

large volumes of consumption and production. 

Soy is undoubtedly a controversial topic with many

believing it is desecrating Latin America, as forest is ripped up

for new plantations. But the big companies involved are keen to put

things right and major plans are in place to improve soy’s

sustainability credentials.  So before you judge too

harshly, listen to all that Lieven Callewaert, the European

representative of the round table of Responsible Soy has to say in

a recent interview with Claire Phoenix.
