minus-squarenac82@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoSo we are talking about producing roughly 580 calories of almond milk vs producing 2400 calories of cow milk. So in terms of calories/pollution rate, we are talking about a scale of 1:2 in favor of cow milk efficiency. Meaning in terms of keeping people fed as a rate of efficiency in pollution, cow milk is twice as efficient. Does that math add up? feel free to check me. Edit: doubled the calories in an unsweetened silk almond milk for almond milk calorie count Used a local brand of whole milk that based on a short Google search seems pretty standard.
