Still not getting it- if the cottonseed is fed to the cows why do you think the water should be attributed to textiles?
Cottonseed fed to cows is obviously not going to be grown into cotton and used in textiles…
Also I can’t find mention of cottonseed at all in there.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding your argument- as that publication back what we are saying about the beef industry having a massive impact on the environment
The point is that you can grow a plant based diet for a human for much less resource cost than you could for a cow.
Multiplied by the amount our current meat industry runs at and you get decimation of large swaths of lands, much higher emission of greenhouse gasses, etc…
Ok… so the water is going to be used regardless- it’s still making the product that goes to feed cows… I guess I’m just not really understanding the base point you are making.
