I saw an ad for being vegan saying either don’t flush your toilet for 6 months, don’t shower for 3 months or don’t eat a burger once. But isn’t all of our water basically renewable and no matter if we do any of these things, it just goes back into the water cycle and we’ll reuse it eventually, even if we have to clean it somehow? What’s the big deal?

What it means is that from rearing the animal, to slaughtering it, processing it that 1300 gallons of water is used.
So there is water used for drinking water, and water to grow the grass that the animal grazes on, and water to grow other foods it eats, water used to wash and clean the animals living area.
When the animal goes to slaughter, water is used to clean the animal pre and post processing and water used to clean the processing plant.
The big deals to the anti meats/ reduce meat consumption is that non meat based diets use significantly less water to produce food.
