- red-iron-pine 4y agoI think this poster's point is that almond milk uses an insane amount of water relative to what it produces -- a problem for a region having notable shortages of water.
- knorker 4y agoIf by "the poster" you mean me, the person you replied to, then yes that is what I was alluding to.
- scoofy 4y agoBeef production uses massively more water, it’s just that, like the sugar on your cereal boxes, they split it up into smaller segments. Alfalfa: Beef/Dairy Pasture: Beef/dairy Corn: Beef/dairy Grain: Beef/dairy Alfalfa alone uses more water than almonds… it’s just called alfalfa instead of beef. https://pacinst.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/CA-Ag-Water-Use.pdf https://pacinst.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/CA-Ag-Water-U...
