Still not getting it- if the cottonseed is fed to the cows why do you think the water should be attributed to textiles?
Cottonseed fed to cows is obviously not going to be grown into cotton and used in textiles…
Also I can’t find mention of cottonseed at all in there.
Ok… so the water is going to be used regardless- it’s still making the product that goes to feed cows… I guess I’m just not really understanding the base point you are making.
the cottonseed is a byproduct of growing cotton for textiles and it would be industrial waste if it weren’t fed to cattle
