I think this poster's point is that almond milk uses an insane amount of water relative to what it produces -- a problem for a region having notable shortages of water.

If by "the poster" you mean me, the person you replied to, then yes that is what I was alluding to.

Beef production uses massively more water, it’s just that, like the sugar on your cereal boxes, they split it up into smaller segments.

Alfalfa: Beef/Dairy

Pasture: Beef/dairy

Corn: Beef/dairy

Grain: Beef/dairy

Alfalfa alone uses more water than almonds… it’s just called alfalfa instead of beef.
