    yea. we do. but we don’t use all of it for human food. i don’t see anything better to do with the industrial waste than feed it to livestock.

      After extracting the protein and nutrients for plant-based products there’s not much nutrition left to use it as animal feed though. It’s probably not nutritionally appropriate for cows, pigs and chickens at that point. Using it for insect farming would seem more realistic to me, or as a growth medium for edible mushrooms.
