The point of the diagram is food sources. Almonds certainly can replace meat - they contain protein, fats, vitamin E, magnesium, B2, and a host of other phytonutrients. Plus, unlike meat, the fats they contain are monounsaturated.

Interesting. I didn’t realize that garbled speech was a side effect of arteriosclerosis.

Agreed. Cow milk is far more environmentally damaging for a whole host of reasons, in addition to the water use. Antibiotics, hormones, methane production - there is very little that is good about dairy production.

There are plenty of plant-based foods that are high in protein, plus they have the added benefit of being low in sugar as well as added hormones. The protein in dairy comes with a hefty side of both, and it’s calorically dense to boot.

Right- not to mention the amount of methane that cattle release into the atmosphere - it might actually be the most environmentally damaging part of all.

Water used in almond production: 377 gallons per pound. Suddenly, almonds don’t look so bad.

My money’s on arterial/coronary disease.

It’s too bad the almonds are so water intensive.

Dairy milk provides very little nutritional benefit, especially considering the amount of sugar in it (and yes, sugar is added to dairy milk, it’s just not labeled).

See, I was thinking more “Rosie, if she did a lot of coke.”

By “agricultural beauty pageants” I assume you mean for like, horses or rare Texas Longhorns? Please mean that?

I can’t wait until these things are relegated to the dustbins of history.

For real. She also verified that he is very good at talking a lot about nothing, and that he hangs out with very intelligent people.

He may be woke, but that didn’t stop him from trying to play footsie under the table with my girlfriend while her boyfriend was RIGHT THERE next to her.

OMG yes. I am petite with a c-cup and would LOVE to have a decent, tailored button down. Why is it so hard???

So it’s in the bargain basket?

Eh, Australia, New Zealand, tomato, tomahto...

Don’t bury the lede.

I feel that way pretty much anywhere between downtown and Palm Springs. I drive through it as fast I can.

I believe that is one of those family of dog breeds known as “pillow.”
