You’re mixing up different arguments making it impossible to respond.

  It's the same argument throughout; that "people arguing that beef production uses to much water" in the Netherlands aren't necessarily scoping their discussion to just the Netherlands, but the global beef industry and its impacts. "But it's wet here!" really misses their point.

    Politicians here used it as a real argument during discussions about Dutch beef production. And sadly it went unchallenged. It’s still often repeated by people who are overly fanatic.

        Link dropping without context is just rude. Abusing statistics to make an invalid point is annoying no matter the actual goal.
