Maybe you didn't open any of the links. As an example, from "Water footprint of crop and animal products: a comparison" [0]... Litre per kilogram - vegetables: 322, bovine meat: 15415 (47x more water required for meat) Litre per kilocalorie - vegetables: 1.34, bovine meat: 10.19 (7.6x more water required for meat) Litre per gram of protein - vegetables: 26, bovine meat: 112 (4.3x more water required for meat) Litre per gram of fat - vegetables: 154, bovine meat: 153 (1.006535948x more water required for vegetables) It seems that with respect to water consumption bovine meat requires, in a way the particularly concerning word is often used, exponentially more for similar output - in most (3 out of 4) cases described by the article.
