It takes 8 gallons of water to produce cow milk 1 gallon. It takes 48 gallons of water to make almond milk 1 gallon.

The same with the plant burgers take more water to make than meat. When water gets scarce there will be shortages.

I’m amazed that people are still considering almond milk as a replacement of milk. Both beverages share basically nothing except maybe that they are white and people still compare them.

In reality, you can reduce/stop cow milk consumption without replacing it. And if you want to replace it, almond milk is a pretty bad choice.

I like both but to me it’s like comparing coffee with chocolate arguing that you can (or should) replace one with the other.

If you want to stop cow milk for [insert reason] and, by the meantime, you are worried about the water consumption of almond milk, just don’t drink both.

Where does the water disappear to? Does it enter an interdimensional wormhole, never to return?

Do you have a source for that?

[superchroma]

maybe the answer is to try and make almond milk substitute then?

[_xerces_]

While almond is better, the article does suggest that almonds themselves are not the best when it comes to water usage.

Then why am I being downvoted when I post that?

Maybe this. It's a fallacy.

OK, I guess I got it wrong. Sorry about that.
