I can’t tell from that calculation, but it seems they’re comparing X of almonds, to a whole dairy cow. That’s... weird. It’s also odd that they compare by volume, and not by calorie. All I’m all I’m left wanting to see the data behind the calculator so fair comparisons can be made. Either way given that my advice was, and remains “drink water” and not “drink milk” I’m also not sure what your point is.
Especially when looking at the graph on the page you linked to, it becomes clear that the CO2 emission question is spurious. Dairy is fairly efficient, but actually killing and eating the animal isn’t. Fortunately beef cattle are not dairy cattle, and while the industries are linked, they are not inextricably linked. Most of all though, I’ll say it again, All told drinking a lot of anything other than water is probably a bad move... To that I’d add that if your real concern is environmental, milk is the least of it, cheese being a far bigger offender. Cheese being effectively condensed milk means that your kilogram of cheese took 10kg of milk to make.
