   @utopify_org @thatguyoverthere @animeirl Water usage claims on beef are the biggest lie and simplest to dispute. There's published papers from the 90s that completely contradict them as well as testimony from various ranchers in arid areas. They're off by orders of magnitude and nobody calls them out. The water cycle exists, but we have to pretend otherwise. As if rain hitting a pasture somehow means that California's almonds won't survive. Boo hoo.
