It takes 8 gallons of water to produce cow milk 1 gallon. It takes 48 gallons of water to make almond milk 1 gallon.
The same with the plant burgers take more water to make than meat. When water gets scarce there will be shortages.
- superchroma 4y agomaybe the answer is to try and make almond milk substitute then?
- _xerces_ 4y agoWhile almond is better, the article does suggest that almonds themselves are not the best when it comes to water usage.
- orionblastar 4y agoThen why am I being downvoted when I post that?
- myshpa 4y ago> The same with the plant burgers take more water to make than meat. Maybe this. It's a fallacy.
- orionblastar 4y agoOK, I guess I got it wrong. Sorry about that.

- unmole 4y ago> The same with the plant burgers take more water to make than meat. Do you have a source for that?
- shrubble 4y agoWhere does the water disappear to? Does it enter an interdimensional wormhole, never to return?

- pjerem 4y agoI’m amazed that people are still considering almond milk as a replacement of milk. Both beverages share basically nothing except maybe that they are white and people still compare them. In reality, you can reduce/stop cow milk consumption without replacing it. And if you want to replace it, almond milk is a pretty bad choice. I like both but to me it’s like comparing coffee with chocolate arguing that you can (or should) replace one with the other. If you want to stop cow milk for [insert reason] and, by the meantime, you are worried about the water consumption of almond milk, just don’t drink both.
