What's the best kind of milk to drink? Whole milk or skim? Should it pasteurized or raw? (lemmygrad.ml)

So 628 liters of water for the first liter of milk then another 628 liters for the second liter? Seems like your math is a little wrong.

Just googling around, growing one pound of oats takes about 290 gallons. It takes about 1.25 cups of oats to make a liter of homemade oatmilk. 1.25 cups of oats is about .25 pounds. That's 72.5 gallons to get your one liter of oatmilk. Or about 274 liters of water.

I have no problem with people going to better alternatives for health and environmentalism and more - even tastiness, but that chart seems a little wrong.
