Im a farmer of waterfowl and poultry. And I eat less meat because I see, first hand, how much goes in to a livestock animal. Everything from massive amounts of water, to massive amounts of grains to supporting low wage slaughterhouse employees and the shipping costs and packaging cists and transportation costs all along the way...... ugh. Its awful. And yes, Nestle and other major corporate monsters ARE hugely important to stop. But agriculture is no longer truly sustainable anymore. And no- we cant become vegetarians and solve the problem. Im not sure there is a solution anymore.

So instead of telling Nestle to stop robbing people with their bottled water, they'll just tell us not to eat. F**k you. I'll eat whatever I want, because a piece of chocolate certainly isn't the issue here. Way to try and distract everyone, so companies like Nestle can keep f*****g everyone over.

Okay. How does one egg require 196 l of water? Is that a dinosaur egg? Do they even know where egg comes from? Or am I somehow confused?

I don't understand this topic. During the production of food, all those water is turning to other molecules and not being as water anymore? Or they are using water and after production the water turning back to earth resources again? (i.e vaporization, foul water, soil percolation)

You know what else saves water? If ungreatful people just stop eating and breathing all together. :D who the hell are you to turn down a meal while there are people starving in the world and would give just about anything to work and have a meal everyday. Many people make a living off of these products and if there isn't a demand for these things, all it means is more jobless people living off our taxes.

Being vegetarian in Peru is really expensive...

I think lean pockets and diet MD.

I live in Fresno, California and the drought hit us HARD. We can only water our backyards/front yards twice a week, but only on specific days. If we don't follow these rules we get fined. Not only that, summer in Fresno is hell. It gets up to 110 degrees and theres no water...great.

pork ^_^

Wow. Light blue and white. I can barely read those photos' captions.

As a hog farmer who keeps close track of the water he uses, this blog post is bunk to the point of being ridiculous. We also grow our own garden and keep track of the water we use there. If our tomatoes took 214 litres to grow one kg of tomatoes, our well would run dry and not be able to keep up. This is not the case so I call bunk on this bit of writing and graphics.

There are no excuses to eat anything that comes from an animal. Animal agriculture is destroying our planet and all life on it, and 60 BILLION animals every year have to suffer and die for it, for NOTHING. Eating animals does serious damage to your health as well, since humans are not meat-eaters/omnivores, but naturally 100% herbivores (or frugivores to be exact). Our natural diet consists of fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. That's all! GO VEGAN, it's the best choice you'll ever make in your life! <3

Note: water is part of a natural cycle. It's basic physics: matter is not created nor destroyed and the water that goes into growing cocoa or feeding livestock does return to the system.

I don't take "relaxing baths" and I don't have a pool, so I guess I can feed up on chocolate and beef...

Manipulative. Egg is better than wheat or potatoes. Obviosly. For pork and beef, yes they are not innocent but still veganism is not the salvation. Eat some mushroom at least and learn well What are Green, Blue and Grey Waterfootprints first. Only telling 784 glasses of water i not enough knowledge.

Aren't the animals still going to be drinking water? How much water was required to post this?

Pork chop!!!!

Screw that! I'm still enjoying my all meat pizza and chicken parmigiana. F**k all the greedy corporations and the media for their misinformation, mind conditioning and lies. Let's all enjoy the food we want to eat!
