Not at all. While animals can be pastured, most of the livestock in developed countries is reared in grain-fed CAFOs. These are, in most cases, grain that is suitable for human consumption or could be made so. Moreover, almond milk is still ecologically preferable to cows milk.

Life is already hard enough for people with nut allergies (which is apparently more common than I thought), so let's just make that oat milk and call it a day. A lot better for the environment too :)

Variety is good. People can also be allergic to oat.

That simply isn't true. It is very, very common in the US. I've not seen a trace of it in Norway: Farmers here seem a bit appalled. From what I understand, at least some aspects of this sort of farming have been outlawed in much of Europe, and Europe is full of so-called "developed countries".

In France the majority of what cows eat is grass, between 56% to 80%.

This isn’t correct, all cows are raised on pasture, the only distinction is whether they are finished on pasture or in CAFOs.

And oat milk preferable to almond milk.
