Then that depends on the overall footprint of each.

eg, It could well be that the 'fake milk' requires a faction of the
space to produce (compared with cows milk), a fraction of the water
and actually produces far less of the worst greenhouse gasses (methane
V CO2), then we may all still be better off overall (and no cow
hormones in fake milk for example).

How can they claim no added sugars when one of their products is
labelled unsweetened?

Because they use apple juice in the sweetened ones instead of solid
suger. You may feel this is sophistry.


Factor in the destruction of the soil structure by constantly growing
crops. Leaving the ground fallow and growing grass for a couple of years
and then using grazing animals for maintenance during this time may be
beneficial for the country.

It may be impractical to plant crops when the whole of the countryside
is full of wind and solar farms.
