    So 628 liters of water for the first liter of milk then another 628 liters for the second liter? Seems like your math is a little wrong.

    Just googling around, growing one pound of oats takes about 290 gallons. It takes about 1.25 cups of oats to make a liter of homemade oatmilk. 1.25 cups of oats is about .25 pounds. That's 72.5 gallons to get your one liter of oatmilk. Or about 274 liters of water.

    I have no problem with people going to better alternatives for health and environmentalism and more - even tastiness, but that chart seems a little wrong.

    Here's the thing, they turn to these audacious conspiracies because nothing else makes sense to them. They see constantly in the news bad things happening but no consequences. Rich guys break the banks but no one goes to jail. Poor guys do all the work but never make ends meet. It makes no sense. And the media always explains away things in such a nonsense way that they latch on to the first thing that makes them say yeah that makes sense. It's a secret club of rich people called the masons or Jews or the illuminati or whatever.
    To you and I, the problem is obviously capitalism. The system never fixes the problem because its in it's best interest not to address the problem. The people know something is wrong but they are always diverted away from the truth to something else. I suggest you find a conspiracy theorist, explain capitalism and show them the answer has really been there right in front of them the whole time. They may have to take some time to lose their racist ideology or to reinvision the world with this new framework. But soon, hopefully, you'll have a new comrade.

    The only way its going to at least slightly go away is if wait staff organize, unionize, and demand higher wages. Consumers won't end it. Employers won't end it. Government won't end it. The workers have to demand better working conditions. It's their burden, just like it's the burden of the coal miner, the auto worker, the electrician, etc. Tipping culture will change when workers decide they are tired of it being as shitty as it is.
