Have you heard that almond milk uses loads of water, so is really bad for the environment?
Or that rainforests get chopped down to grow your soy beans for that soy milk?
These are distortions of the truth, designed to make cow’s milk sound better without actually using evidence. See the photo, and read on, a thread 🧵 #vegan
Yes, almond milk uses a lot of water. But compared to cows milk, it uses about half per glass of milk - and it has far fewer emissions and far less land use!
(I’d actually recommend avoiding almond milk and instead using one of the other plant milks)
It’s true that a lot of rainforest is cut down to grow soy beans. But the truth is, those beans are for *animal feed*. Most soy milk you can buy will clearly state on the label that it’s grown in Europe and not from a rainforest.
If you’re worried about land usage, soy milk still uses far less land than cows milk!
