The funniest maths in modern environmentalism.
One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled.
The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy.
Meanwhile, in Cheshire.
A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain.
She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco.
To recap.
600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water.
Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food.
The shopper picks the almond.
She has been told this is the ethical position.
The aquifer would like a word.
@CryptoWizardd Depends on your goal. Muscle mass or fat? Muscle mass is hard but only reachable trough more protein (2gr per kilo) and weight lifting in combination with a lot of energy trough carbs and or fat.
We have to stop calling LDL "bad cholesterol", it helps us from getting sick.
LDL adheres to and inactivates almost all types of microorganisms and their toxic products, and enhances the activation of the innate immune system.
Focus on reducing inflammation.

Oh yeah sure just put bluetooth deep into your skull. Walk around with EMF in your pocket. Eat novel oils made with hexane & bleach. Avoid animal products. Put strange chemicals on your skin to block the sun. Take the prescription meth for your health. I'm sure it's fine!
It's official:
No global warming for 8 years and 5 months, per NASA satellite data.
That's no warming despite ~475 billion tons of CO2 emissions.
CO2 warming is the biggest scientific hoax of all time.

"Acknowledging 1.5C was not about science, but realpolitik."
To put it bluntly, if you talk seriously about the 1.5C threshold but don't know this history then you don't actually know what you're talking about.

Research has found a strong link between aluminum exposure and Alzheimer’s disease. Patients with a genetic mutation that predisposes them to early onset of Alzheimer’s and more aggressive disease have universally high aluminum content in their brains.
