@CoryBooker@ElGringoSpeaks Incorrect. Almond milk takes less water to produce than dairy. A gallon of cow's milk takes 1000 gallons of H20. -
@ReelChanger no one said cow's milk was a better alternative...it's a statement about the almond milk, no comparison was intended.

@CoryBooker@ElGringoSpeaks It's a water thing, right? Same with avocados; heard So Cal growers are allowing trees to die. -
@lcarilo yeah, thats my point, while dairy is worse generally, its production locales are more diverse than almonds, easing the strain

@CoryBooker@ElGringoSpeaks Like producing beef is any better -
@abejustice26@CoryBooker its not, but in the current water environment in CA, where most almonds come from, its arguably worse. -

@CoryBooker@ElGringoSpeaks almonds use a lot of water and are grown in areas desperate for water, like California. Try soy or rice milk.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
