Millions of Groundwater Wells Could Run Dry

One of the lowest hanging fruits in water conservation are reducing irrigated forage crops (like alfalfa or silage).

Without getting into meat production, dairy is a tremendous user of water.

I'm particularly excited to see lab created milk. I suspect it will be easier to take to production then artificial meat, and we can free much of the water (and land for that matter) while continuing to enjoy our cheese pizzas.

Why lab created milk instead of something like oat milk? As a lactose intolerant person, I don't miss cow milk at all. Cheese substitutes mostly suck, though.

Well, I am not lactose intolerant, and I don't don't miss cow milk.

I'm lactose intolerant and I miss milk greatly. It doesn't help that I also have a mild reaction to nuts, so almond milk is out.

Oatmilk is just meh.

Best I've found for cheese substitute so far is a brand called follow your heart from Sprouts. It is only good if really well melted on toast, otherwise it's very much unsavory. Stay away from the mild cheddar and Gouda, both are really bad. The provolone is ok, the American is ok as well.
