#soy beans

February 23, 2026 - After weeks of protesting at a major port in the Amazon, Indigenous activists forced Brazil’s government to revoke a controversial privatization plan that could have destroyed their livelihoods and polluted waterways. It would have allowed US agricultural giant Cargill to dredge rivers and streams in the amazon to more easily transport soy exports. The Amazon rainforest is rapidly being clearcut, legally and illegally, to build soy bean plantations. [video]

Plot twist. The second biggest purchaser of soy beans was USAID. With that being cut by DOGE, all the government contracts are gone as well.

Came for a Vietnamese style meal. The spam with soy beans are okay. Fried rice and chow mien are the main dishes because it taste good. Pho with pork chop is always my go-to for Vietnamese cuisine. Along with vegetable spring rolls and mango salad. The steaks are sweet and crunchy. Overall, was a great experience. From “Pho 60”
