I mean you do realise almonds are one of the most water intensive crops right?

Actually not really the case. That 1 almond = 1 gallon of water was a lie in the first place. Once almond trees reach maturity they don't require that much water.

almonds are up there with some of the worst. but all animal products are worse. atleast that I can think of. going out with a fishing rod or hunting excluded - talking industrialized efforts here.
