      it’s not a majority of the revenue. it’s about half of the revenue from beans that are pressed for oil, but there are other uses.

        50% of revenue is not a byproduct, that’s a core part! I don’t see much point continuing these conversation as if we are going to claim that we can just ignore 50% of revenue as a “byproduct”. None of these conversations are going to get anywhere if that’s the way things are going to go
