Leaving aside the reliability of the 4000 gal/lb for meat, it take 10,000 litres per kg to make almonds (a major californian crop, 2000gallons to the pound? I can't make these weird units work! ). I wonder how many hogsheads of almond milk you get per shackle of almonds?
So why pick on meat? Why not stop subsidising all water users?

- mark_l_watson 5y agoWell, all water users should not be subsidized. What is wrong with letting the free market set the cost of beef, almonds, rice, etc. based on water costs?
- LatteLazy 5y agoWell generally we don't like food prices going up and farmers going out of business (since farming isn't sustainable without huge subsidies and since rural areas get lot more political representation). But broadly I agree.
