- jaryd 12y agoWow--thanks! The "How Thirsty Is Your Food" infographic from the first link is really incredible. Definitely makes me think differently about eating handfuls of almonds, or a huge amount of broc with dinner.
- CWuestefeld 12y agoI agree that's really interesting. But it would be better to normalize to serving size. It doesn't seem fair to compare one almond or one grape to a whole head of broccoli.
- kaybe 12y agoWater use is often seen as something negative. When the crops come from a wet place anyway, it shouldn't be a problem I think.
