No water to spare, on account of all the Almonds.
In a neighboring state, I grab a cup of Oats in the Yogurt section - The Oats includes Almonds, plus Almond Flour.
Then I turn and see a vertical display of Almond Milk.
80% of CA water goes to Agriculture, with 20% of that to "tree nuts".
CA provides 80% of the world's Almonds, 100% of USA production.
I hate Almonds (Cashews, Macadamia, Pecan, just please no more dry and splintering Almonds...) and wonder if they are spammed in food so CA can keep more Water Rights.
- defterGoose 4y agoMight as well just use seawater then...
- UncleEntity 4y agoThey can use the water before it gets to the Central Valley, it’s not like the water is used up by being pumped uphill or anything. Hell, then they can claim their almonds are grown with environmentally friendly recycled water.
- nullish_signal 4y agoYes, my point is water can't be used before getting somewhere. If 16% of CA water goes to "Tree Nuts", that water can't also be sitting in an Energy Reservoir
