    You’re joking, right? Dairy Milk requires not just way more water but also space, work and a deeply unethical business concept (cows have to constantly be impregnated to produce milk, the antibiotics they’re given en’ mass are destroying our most important drugs’ effectiveness, the food we give the cows could feed multiple humans, ecetera).

    Almond milk is also the most demanding of the alternatives as far as I know. Oat milk is even more efficient, and other than with cows we can still make farming them more efficient (drip-farming, Solarfarming - crops have higher yields and lower water needs in partial shadow as well - ecetera).

    Not sure where you got your opinion from. There are good alternatives.

      The scapegoating of almonds is popular disinfo at least in California. It’s part of the water wars. I’m pretty sure it’s promoted by the meat industry and other nefarious characters. I’ve heard it many times.

      Some background and debunking:

        There is a lot of disinformation for sure. We are also growing a lot of crops in places we shouldn’t be, and almonds in California are a pretty good example.

      If you blend plant-based ‘meat’, it makes ‘milk!’
