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.

Are you saying chickens also emit a lot of methane? That's new to me.

Anyway, where are you getting your information from?
Have you not figured out yet that Nudger farms?
