    almonds (which I suggest people DONT eat) use 50% less water than cows

    the sources of the water vary greatly, where much of the water that is attributed to cows is actually rainwater that ends up in the grass they graze, almonds are actively irrigated, and then the almond milk itself requires an input of potable water.

      62% of water used in animal farming is groundwater pumped from local aquifures.

      You also conveniently ignore my point about soy milk. I suggest no one drink almond milk as it uses too much water.

      Maybe argue against MY points instead of the ones you’ve invented. Unless… my points are too clever and compelling?

        i haven’t invented anything. i’m adding nuance to your black-and-white analysis.

        ok? what’s the breakdown among fisheries, pork, chicken, turkey, lamb, goat, and cow? if 98% of that is going to fish then it’s a useless statistic in this context.

          Okay it’s patently obvious I’m dealing with someone who hasn’t attended a university or college. You don’t have the mental acuity to reason just yet. There are some people out there who can understand logic and that, but sorry my friend you ain’t one of em.

          Good luck with your future endeavours!

            an appeal to authority coupled with a personal insult isn’t evidence your statistic is relevant.
