Nuts dont grow where I live. You have to transport them from completely different climate. Planting a lot of means changing local biodiversity for the artificially create one.

Cows live where I live. They spend most of the year outside. They definitely dont take 75% of fields for themselves, most of fields are for crops of various kind.

Factually, it is rice + nuts. I can take apple juice and call it non-alcoholic wine, but it wont be wine.

People have been deforesting (fires etc.) the land for the last 10000 years or so, maybe even longer. So what you see, what you're accustomed to, is already a changed, artificial environment.

Yes, they do take as much.

Let it sit for a while and you'll have an alcoholic apple wine :)

Nuts would be completely new plant, never been present in local ecosystem. The idea that this is somehow supposed to be environmental is absurd.

And no, cows where I live don't take 75% of the fields. And people here do drink quite a lot of milk, most of it local. Maybe elsewhere cows they do take huge amount of space, but not here.

Also, quite a lot of what is pasture is a place unsuitable for crops. That is why it is used for pasture.

You do realize nut milk isn't literally milk?

I do, the other person claims they are replacements of each other.

You can interchange them in many contexts

I mean, except different composition and nutritional value. They have similar color and consistency.
