Check where the soya beans used in the soya milk subsititue is sourced.
They have taken to grubbing up vast amounts of rain forest to grow soya beans because the west is willing to PAY for it and like many other commodities produced in third world/second world areas workers are not top of the 'care about' list.
The Uk stuff is clearly marked GM free and if you insist on full ethical soil association quarentees no virgin rainforest has been destroyed.

WalkInHisFootsteps said:In the US, most of the soy beans are grown here. The soy beans in Brazil are mostly exported out to Europe, Australia and Asia. US beans are sent there, too of course, but there are enough bean growers and enough demand for US grown beans that most of the bean products here are home-grown (according to the dearly beloved Joe, who is a bean farmer!).
