Resumé

I dette essay funderer jeg over det delte liv mellem mennesker, køer, bier og omgivelser i forbindelse med produktionen af komælk og mandler i industrialiseret landbrug. Begge produkter involverer et stort antal industrialiserede dyr og mennesker, og dog præsenteres det ene (mandelmælk eller mandeldrik) som et vegansk alternativ til det andet. Det åbner op for et spørgsmål om hvordan vi kan arbejde os frem til systemer, hvor vi ser og anerkender hinanden.
