    those are impacts from production. once it’s produced, drinking it has no impact at all.

    but I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that your link relies on poore-nemecek 2018, which ignores the fact that LCA studies cannot be combined. it’s bad science.

      High speed doesn’t kill anyone, it’s the sudden deceleration that does.

        if we stop drinking milk, and it continues to be produced, the environmental impacts will not cease. if we stop production, it will.

          Because if we don’t, milk farmers will just continue producing milk for what reason exactly?

            farmers choose every day whether to continue production, and for fickle and irrational reasons. ceasing consumption cannot cause them to make any decision. they have free will, so only their will can be said to cause their actions.
