Please explain how you came to that conclusion???

I looked up the research and from what I read, the environmental impact of animal milk and bacon is actually much, much larger than that of almond milk and veggie bacon.

@sibrosan I've not done the research, I've just reported this. Please take any dispute up with the authors. 🙂

@kibcol1049

That's not an answer to my question.

Please explain how you came to that conclusion, because it looks like you are reporting the opposite of what the researchers found.

Quoting from the report:
"According to our analysis (Fig. 1C), all meat and milk alternatives had lower environmental impacts per serving than the comparable meat and milk products."

@kelvin0mql @kibcol1049

I can't access that article.

As far as I can determine, the link I provided is the report of those Oxford researchers, and it comes to the opposite conclusion.

See the icon that looks like a printed sheet of paper on the right edge of the address bar?

Just to the right of "almond-milk-and..."?

That's the button for "toggle reader view".

@kelvin0mql @8petros @kibcol1049

Aha. The additional text that becomes visible doesn't explain the conclusion re the veggy bacon. But it explains "Almond milk was also worse for the environment than cow’s milk on a per-calorie basis."

So, apparently, almond milk is *not only* much better for the environment on a per-serving basis, but a serving contains much less calories as well, so replacing cow milk by almond milk also makes a lot of sense if you are concerned with being overweight.

Yeah, there's propaganda on at least two sides of every issue, & Crazy Uncle Col shows up spouting god knows what that he heard god knows where, written by someone that has a hair up their bum for god knows why.

Dropping misinformation alternative facts like turds in the punchbowl.

But he also often posts something amusing. ((shrug))

@kelvin0mql @sibrosan @8petros@petroskowo.pl It seems this issue is a little controversial. Having spent some time looking at this, it is clear there is a lot of research, going back several years. There are different conclusions to various products and at various times. So it seems there is no definitive answer. Having introduced the topic I am now going to leave it there. People can do further research themselves. Thank you for your comments.

@sibrosan @kelvin0mql @kibcol1049 Mate, you referred to the specific research and misrepresented its conclusion, and now you are cowardly covering your tracks. Get lost. You are blocked.
