Almond milk is a waste of water and is priced out of poor families ability to buy them :(
I know. Almond milk is a huge waste of water. But unfortunately, it’s harder to find others like oat and soy in their unsweetened variants.

this is based on poore-nemececk 2018, a meta"study" that ignores guidance on LCA studies being unable to be combined, and doesn’t even have the integrity to disclose this in the paper. it’s bad science.
“Bad science” is [email protected] for “I don’t want this to be true”.
it could be true, but the study used to support it is flawed.
“flawed study” is @[email protected] for “I didn’t like the conclusions some researcher who spent a long time looking into all the scientific studies drew, so I’m going to cast vague doubts about it instead”
That just depends on where you are. It is as prevalent in major cities in my state as oat, soy, and alternatives.
Yeah, I don’t live near one of those. I’d probably raise my carbon footprint more by driving an hour than I would buying a different milk.
