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)

@shauny almond milk is my favourite for making caramel and fudge, but since I hardly ever make caramel or fudge, I reckon that's OK. When I first went vegan there was really only soya milk easily available and I've never liked soya milk, so I just didn't bother with milk at all. I mean, there's always water. Over Christmas I made fudge with oat milk cos we get that from the milk delivery person, and it was plenty nice.
