Two points.  1. Soy is not "suited well for the people" anywhere.
2. And the problem is not the raising and eating of animals for food,
it is the feedlot system.  Grazing animals on lands suited for pasture (and not
suited for agriculture) produce more food for humans than any other use of
that land.
