An interesting special report in the Guardian that looks at how soya has traditionally been consumed, and how it has been prepared and presented for the past 50 years in the West, as the result of economic and technological changes precipitated by the Second World War:
Dawson, a lifelong vegetarian, does not drink soya milk and only eats tofu in moderation. “I will only use a product for my family if there is 200 years of tradition behind it. You are asking for trouble if you take an isolate from soya - yet so much effort seems to go into taking industry’s waste and turning it into new food.”
The effort that has gone into creating the global soya market has indeed been enormous. Today it is dominated by a handful of American trading companies. Three of them - Bunge, ADM and Cargill - control 80% of the European soya bean crushing industry. These three, together with allied companies, are also estimated to control up to 80% of European animal feed manufacturing. They dominate the US soya market, and also account for 60% of Brazil’s soya export
