Soybeans contain omega-3 fatty acid, a good fat that may

help reduce the risk for cancer and heart disease

Prices from USAID's 2012 Commodity Calculator: (http://transition.usaid.gov/our_work/humanitarian_assistance/ffp/impletool.html), soy

concentrate and isolate prices from NSRL staff Karl Weingartner, and other prices estimated from USDA sources. Grams of protein from

USDA's nutrient database and ADM’s product specifications. Price per pound of protein calculated by first finding the grams of protein per

pound and then per metric ton. Then this divided by the overall cost of the product per metric ton.
