almond

My understanding is there are only a few areas in the world climate suitable for commercial almond farming.

Wouldn't the simpler solution be just move the Almond industry out of California to somewhere with better water?

If the Californian Almond industry runs out of water then other more marginal areas will become viable.

The almond speculators will lose their shirts, but those are the risks of growing water-intensive crops in the desert.

But the fat is actually the good part of milk, so if you don't want the milk fat you're better off picking another drink entirely - like almond milk.

Eating almonds make people happy, so almond growers grow almonds and sell them to people that want to them.

They like to point the fingers at almond growers, which consume about a gallon per nut.

The almond crop alone uses more water than all the city residents in the state.

TV was recently reiterating the trope that a single almond takes 1 gallon of water.

It's water usage is truly wtf level, whereas chicken is closer to almond level.

For breakfast I have either a simple smoothie (banana, peanut butter, spinach, almond milk) or oatmeal with berries.

Indoor almond farms I don't mean as a hobby.

Almond growers note that an ounce of lentils takes 71 gallons, and an ounce of beef 106 gallons.

Almond growers are acting against the best interests of their community for personal profit.

Almond growers better be paying a premium then in order to compensate the residents of the state who lost their water to them.
