No Vegan believes that everything they do is always the best for the environment - I just believe over the course of being a Vegan, I will end up reducing CO2 emissions overall.
I'd imagine Almond milk is a miniscule part of a Vegan's diet compared to how much meat someone would eat anyway.
This argument really annoys me because it seems like you're trying to discredit vegans and justify the act of eating meat to yourself.
I honestly do not care if people eat meat, but I do care when those people try and use mental gymnastic s to tell me (without any scientific evidence) that what I'm doing is somewhat worse.
The example in the parent comment is also wrong. Almond milk produces way fewer emissions than dairy. It just uses a surprisingly large amount of water, which is still roughly half that of dairy.
If methane from cattle was truly something to be concerned about, surely we'd be seeing an increase in the same carbon isotope as that in cattle methane in the atmosphere, except that's not what's happening.
