    It comes from not using huge amounts of water to grow water-intensive crops in the California desert.

        What?

        are you saying we shouldnt be allowing the Saudi’s to use billions of gallons of water, to grow tons of alfalfa (one of the most water intensive crops there is) in the middle of the desert, in a drought, just so they can ship it all back home to saudi arabia to use as animal feed?

            Why do they even want to encourage cow milk consumption?
