minus-squareagoseris@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoThe chart says those values are what it takes to produce one liter of each milk.
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.
minus-squareNakrar@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·1 year agoYes that neglects the transport though. Cow milk can PE produced locally almost everywhere. Cow milk I buy here was produced maybe 10km away from me. Almond milk was transported 5000+ km.
Roughly half the amount of cow’s milk.
