> a single almond requires more water than a human. Also incorrect. Humans need to drink about 0.7 gallons PER DAY. To grow, an almond needs 1 gallon PER YEAR. (I'm guessing almond trees produce nuts once per year.) Point is they're different units, by a lot. Ignoring the reality of how modern humans live sanitary lives is quite silly. Without lots of clean water to wash things, people live miserable lives - this is a focus of much NGO work. A more reasonable analysis would conclude that a typical 1st world person's water consumption is equivalent to a hundred almonds per day. Per day.
