For some numbers:

One graph even has California’s animal feed water usage so large it actually goes off the chart at 15.2 million acre-feet of water (it is distorted to make it fit as it notes). For some comparison, the blue water usage of animal feed is larger than all of almonds water usage of ~2 million acre-feet of water

EDIT 2:

Also worth noting is that per liter, dairy milk requires 628.2 L of freshwater vs almond milk requiring 371.46 L of freshwater. And if you use something like oat milk instead that gets you to 48.24 L

    Hmm I’ve had other people say they couldn’t see my posts when I used imgur though I think usually people can see that there was an image (just that it didn’t load). Maybe will stop using imgur for post then I suppose

      The image doesn’t preview, on kbin.social, for me. But clicking the title when in the comments will take me to the imgur page. Kind of inconvenient, but ultimately accessible.
