      so what you’re saying is that it’s the population density that’s unsustainable? not the milk itself?

      also do you have a link that it’s unsustainable? because i’m not so sure about that. the world can currently produce about 2-3x the amount of food that we actually need, i don’t see that declining by more than 60% any time soon.

          Milk has higher environmental impact than plant based milk ≠ milk is unsustainable.

          Milk is in fact a very nutritious aliment and many parts of the world depend on it as base for nutrition.

            sustainable means nothing if something that is killing the planet counts as sustainable

              Is milk killing the planet? That’s news to me.

              The fact that there are more sustainable alternatives to milk is not evidence that milk is unsustainable.

                it’s one of the things that’s killing the planet

                i wouldn’t call it sustainable if the end result is an unlivable planet, if nothing is done about the emissions

                  You could argue vegetable milk is also contributing to killing the planet. Doing that is clearly pointless.

                  Is the pollution produced by the production of milk significant, in such a way that reducing it would lead to measurable changes?

                    well it’s killing the planet much less and we need some kind of nutrition to live

                    is the pollution produced by private jets significant, in such a way that reducing it would lead to measurable changes?

                    climate change is due to a combination of a lot of things. we need to tackle a lot of different problems. none of them is killing the planet on their own, but we need to look at the big picture
