The reduction in energy and water use is great but does it have a similar nutrition profile to real milk?

Well, since they say they would be replacing the milk in Kraft Mac and Cheese, I don't think the nutritional value really matters at that point.

Yes, its incredibly easy to supplement whatever you want into synthesised plant based products, so it could have better nutritional value than real milk if they wanted it to. But also... Do you really think the powdered cheese in kraft dinner has any nutritional value? Also, do you believe that people who eat kraft dinner care about the nutritional value they are getting from it? You add milk and butter to it generally anyways, so what does the cheese powder matter in the end?

It's very easy to fortify plant based milk to have not only similar nutritional value, but better nutritional value

Put If you’re fortifying it, then the energy production numbers are irrelevant, because you’re adding a supplement that used energy from another source.
