> never trust a number
One pet peeve of me is the water consumption of everything. Take milk production for example, it disregards so many things, local climate, soil conditions, ecology of having cow on land, biodiversity and so on. Somehow milk production boils down to a single number and is compared with e.g. almond milk. Almond milk uses less water hence good.
At least we are way over the age of line of code..
- colechristensen 4y agoYup. In Iowa we put porous pipes in the ground to drain rain into the rivers faster because otherwise about half the state would have standing water on the surface. Water consumption of Iowa cows does not matter at all, water consumption of a lot of cows doesn't matter at all. There is very little irrigation in Iowa. There are places where water is a limiting factor, and places where it isn't.
