Damn, the second graph is 1:1 with how much I enjoy those types of milk.

Hemp milk not even on the list. Bogus statistics! Hemp seeds (and the resulting milk) has all the essential amino acids and is an excellent source of protein.

Oat milk is so fucking delicious that I stopped drinking cow entirely (and became lactose intolerant for it)

I’m pretty sure lactose tolerance is a genetic thing. You might have just lost your ability to digest it with age (and it’s never coming back)

No.

Protein from oats is also fine:

Spinach 12.6? Must be 2.6, unless it’s dry. Where does that number come from?

Are you saying it takes 628 liters of water to produce 1 liter of cows milk? That seems excessive for a cow that can produce about 22 liters of milk a day.

Yes easily, you can look into the papers explaining that data, but it’s factoring in all the water necessary, including the amoun, required for all the intermediary inputs, water needed for feed crops, etc.

So 628 liters of water for the first liter of milk then another 628 liters for the second liter? Seems like your math is a little wrong.

Just googling around, growing one pound of oats takes about 290 gallons. It takes about 1.25 cups of oats to make a liter of homemade oatmilk. 1.25 cups of oats is about .25 pounds. That’s 72.5 gallons to get your one liter of oatmilk. Or about 274 liters of water.

I have no problem with people going to better alternatives for health and environmentalism and more - even tastiness, but that chart seems a little wrong.
