毛豆和黄豆都是大豆，是大豆不同生长期的叫法。The soybean or soya bean is a species native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean, which has numerous uses. The word "soy" originated as a corruption of the Chinese (Cantonese) or Japanese names for soy sauce (Chinese: 豉油; Jyutping: si6jau4; Cantonese Yale: sihyàuh) (Japanese: 醤油, shōyu).

 In 2019, world production of soybeans was over 334 million tonnes, led by Brazil and the United States combined with 63% of the total (table). Production has dramatically increased across the globe since the 1960s, but particularly in South America after a cultivar that grew well in low latitudes was developed in the 1980s. The rapid growth of the industry has been primarily fueled by large increases in worldwide demand for meat products, particularly in developing countries like China, which alone accounts for more than 60% of imports.

中国进口的转基因大豆都用在了哪里？_中国植物油行业协会    

为什么中国大豆主要靠进口？ - 知乎

2020年新冠疫情爆发之后，联合国粮农组织警告因为全球粮食减产将导致落后国家更多的饥荒，此次疫情将新增饥饿人口8300万，让全球饥饿人口达到1.32亿人。这个消息让国内很多民众产生了恐慌，于是一度有很多人去屯米屯粮，结果发现市面上粮食供应充足，物价平稳，然后中国政府宣布，我国战略储备粮食足够全国人民吃一年。自此，一场抢购粮食的风波戛jiá然而止。

个人观点：害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无。国内不种转基因大豆，继续进口转基因大豆当饲料。进口奶粉和去骨肉。多喝牛奶多吃鱼少吃肉。草鱼苗可以用淀粉作为饲料配方的主要食物，而大草鱼可用稻谷、玉米、脱脂米糠、麦麸等作为饲料配方的主要来源。特高筋面粉蛋白质含量约在14%以上。主粮万万不能依赖进口和转基因，这是底线。

不能搞双标：美国人说转基因好就转基因好，美国农业部说红肉致癌，照吃不误。给叫兽减薪90%可以帮它们抗癌。:-)
