In terms of health, sure. In terms of environmental footprint, quite possibly worse though iirc US agriculture and pasture makes even Australia look water conservative, and we grow rice in the desert
This is not true. There are dairies in California, quite a lot of them, and they take much more water than almond farms. So I agree, almonds shouldn't be grown in a desert and in a better world they wouldn't be, but saying that almond milk is as bad for the environment as cow milk is extremely wrong, and worse, gives carnists reason to keep drinking cow milk.
