    I hate your comment but love your source. There’s no perspective when you say 1 kg of beef uses 15415 L of water to produce. Is that a lot? Is that a little?

    Your source puts that into perspective - it’s a lot. But I wish they’d put it into calories/L of water. I don’t eat based on kg of food. I eat based on kcal and nutrition

      2900 calories

      A regular bath is 150L of water, you need enough water to fill 100 baths to produce 1kg of beef

      Chicken is at just over a quarter in water needs while tofu is at a sixth of beef in water needs. 1650 calories for chicken, 830 calories for tofu, so chicken has the best water/calories ratio…

        And chicken has higher protein content, I believe.

        I guess cows should be Kobe or nothing…
