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.
Trump pulls troops out of Poland and Germany. Putin announces he expects an attack from Latvia.
Latvia. 1.8 million people. Zero offensive capacity.
This is not a coincidence. The world’s biggest losers are coordinating, and they’re not even trying to hide it.
“Putin fears a democratic Ukraine more than NATO tanks, because a free and successful Ukraine destroys the ideological foundation of his regime.”

Almond milk production killed 4 billion bees last year.
It uses 100s of billions of gallons of water.
Meanwhile, cows enjoy being milked.
Veganism is a CON.
Invader smashes a stone wall in the English countryside, because he "wanted to get through it"!
Some of these walls have stood for centuries, and just like the cities, ruined by third world plebs within a few decades.
These people do not belong in England.
MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you.
1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world.
2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled.
3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations.
4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East.
5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon.
6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill.
7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs.
8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt.
9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world.
10. We’re not the freeloaders.
