Yeah it's still better than dairy though right? I actually really dislike almond milk, I'm not even sure how people like it I hate it so much. I do really like oat milk, soya milk is my favourite though and it's a crime that it's underappreciated lol. The one I buy has the same protein and calcium content as dairy with 2.1% fat, and it has 0g of sugar unlike dairy that has what like 5g per 100ml? It also has much less saturated fat of course. And it's only £0.50 (~$0.60usd) at Aldi
In terms of health, sure. In terms of environmental footprint, quite possibly worse though iirc US agriculture and pasture makes even Australia look water conservative, and we grow rice in the desert
This is not true. There are dairies in California, quite a lot of them, and they take much more water than almond farms. So I agree, almonds shouldn't be grown in a desert and in a better world they wouldn't be, but saying that almond milk is as bad for the environment as cow milk is extremely wrong, and worse, gives carnists reason to keep drinking cow milk.
