I've read that it takes a gallon of water to produce ONE almond in
California but many of the sources for such statistics are dubious to
say the least. All it takes is one quackie magazine to print something
as fact and then it gets quoted so many times that it falsely becomes
"common knowledge" or a "truism".
There's something about the "gallon per nut" statistic that leaves an
uneasy feeling.

https://www.theguardian.com/food/201...probably-wrong

http://tiny.cc/9dx2xy

Is almond milk really the nuts?
Influenced by clean eating and agri-exposés such as Cowspiracy
(whichpointed to methane emissions from cattle as crucial in global
warming), many are ditching cows milk in favour of non-dairy
alternatives, which, according to Euromonitor, now make-up 12% of global
milk sales.

That sounds positive. Pre-shipping, the carbon created by a litre of
semi-skimmed (1.67kg) is far higher than that of almond milk (360g).
€œBut what people dont know is the environmental damage almond
plantations are doing in California, and the water cost. *It takes a
bonkers 1,611 gallons (7,323 litres) to produce 1 litre of almond
milk,€�* says the Sustainable Restaurant Associations Pete Hemingway.

Over 80% of the worlds almonds are grown in California, which has been
in severe drought for most of this decade. Hemingway describes a
situation in which farmers are ripping up relatively biodiverse citrus
groves to feed rocketing demand for almonds, creating a monoculture fed
by increasingly deep water wells that threaten statewide subsidence
issues. That leaves rather a bad taste in the mouth.

Solution: of the dairy alternatives, oat milk is the most sustainable
option.

I would suppose the Almond Alliance has no reason to overstate the
amount of water used in growing almonds:

YOU and YOUR TYPE have NO REASON to doubt anyone's "calculations"!

You are INCALCULABLE! ;-) For example,. I could EASILY live on $1000/mo income! I own my home, have NO outstanding debts, and my house makes me MONEY!

And I LOVE LIVING CHEAPLY! Have for most of my years! I've gotten VERY GOOD AT IT TOO! VERY good!

You underestimate my frugality!! I was taught by masters. My parents both survived The Great Depression AND WWII!! I was taught well.

I pay for NO GASOLINE, and THAT is YUGE!! And NO FOR PROFIT Health Insurance at $600/mo for NOTHING!

Someone is paying for your health coverage. You will participate too
now that you have a taxable income as a landlord.

So what if it uses water? That means the 2H combine with about 2 carbon
(for an average hydrocarbon I think) so for every water molecule
actually used (not run-off) we take 2 CO2 out of the air, and add about
2.5 O2.

Do people who want to remove CO2 from the air, with all their left-wing
superior grasp of science, think they can do that without balancing it
in at least several other changes?

Not all, but the more intelligent people are, the smaller the chance
that they're very right wing.

Funny how that correlation seems to hold. Not causal at all.

I think you only need a small brain to come up with very right wing
ideas. "Get rid of foreigners, my country's the best in the universe,
God loves my country, I don't wanna pay taxes, disgruntle,
disgruntle." You can probably generate those thoughts on 2 brain
cells.

Which doesn't mean they aren't also less likely to be very left-wing,
but you seem not to have thought of that.

If by very left-wing you mean communist, then I agree.

In fact your logic is inverted.

You eat beef in a Hindu household?!?! I don't think the "love of

Namaste!

She does not eat a lot of foods. I just had a dessert she cannot have due to allegies: Bananas, avocados and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. She's allergic to bananas. :-( That's OK, I'll eat all the bananas for her! Beef too!

We do NOT have any physical relationship other than friendly hugs when appropriate, like when she got an internship job! :-)

Sanders wants to pry power from the hands of the ugly corporations and
give it back to the people. That's not socialism. That's honesty,
fairness, decency, common sense.

No, he wants to pry money from anyone who has any and give it to those
that don't even if it results if massive deficits that we could never
pay off. Even John will agree that money doesn't always equal power.

Going no place anyway? Rain is ALWAYS going somewhere!! Creeks, rivers, the oceans, etc. The Water Cycles? I read encyclopedias as a kid. And I loved the models of The Water Cycles, and I always wanted to make a Science Fair project out of one! That would have been cool!
