So, a few days ago, I made a new video about vegetarianism. I won't link to it, as that seems to be against the rules. In the video, I mentioned the methane argument for vegetarianism. However, does anybody here know for sure, does rice milk actually emit less methane than cow's milk? Has there been some actual study about that? I know some studies that show oat milk emits less methane than cow's milk, but I know no such studies about rice milk. I know the production of rice emits some methane, so I think it's a reasonable question whether rice milk or milk from grain-fed cows (that most milk comes from today, which also emits far less methane than milk from grass-fed cows) emits less methane.

The lactose intolerant can easily identify cows as the major contributors.

Good article! Also, rice milk appears to be one of the worst offenders regarding methane emissions (although it’s still better than dairy milk): https://ideas.ted.com/which-plant-based-...he-planet/ Boru

Rice is the single largest emitter of methane in conventional ag. Yes, more than cattle as a single source, while less than livestock overall. That's just a tiny sliver of the picture, though. Rice is also water hungry and co2 intensive as well. It's more productive than either corn or wheat - has fewer uses, and a narrow land capacity profile.
Rice milk would have worse numbers than rice - processing. As a product, it's likely to have shit numbers with respect to cows milk in a full comparison because a dairy doesn't have the same numbers as a feedlot to begin with and ultimately makes many more products than just the milk, the environmental cost distributed across them.
