I agree that the raw numbers without context can be misleading but couldn't it be argued that the water usage for chocolate is way too high and that we're vastly overproducing? Adding on more and more usage and saying it's only a percentage of what we already waste isn't a good long-term strategy.
Sure, but then it's silly to throw a fit about data centers which pretty clearly provide a greater benefit to Europe's interests than chocolate does. It's just another example of how the rhetoric gives the established water abusers a free pass while scrutinizing every cubic meter used for tech.
