Half of California water goes to alfalfa feedstock for beef. Is beef a luxury snack food? It probably should be treated as such.

- greyivy 5y agoI'm disappointed to see this answer so far down considering how often the almond milk myth is busted. Animal agriculture uses significantly more water than what else was mentioned in this thread. https://www.truthordrought.com/almond-milk-myths https://www.truthordrought.com/almond-milk-myths

- prostoalex 5y ago> The world would revolt if beef disappeared. Or perhaps US would just have to revise the beef quotas it sets on foreign exporters. A lot of California farm production is designed with costs borne by the public and profits kept private. It wouldn't stay competitive without a mount of legislative work, quotas and tariffs.
