California exports a lot of alfalfa to support beef production elsewhere, but even so, if you buy, say, grass-fed beef from New Zealand (I assume New Zealand's not suffering a draught?) you're fine
- baldeagle 12y agoNew Zealand is actually suffering a pretty bad drought. One of the towns actually just up and ran out of water one day last month. (I know, cause I was there and it was weird). I guess this is such a common event that it doesn't even make the news anymore. See this article from 2012: http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/water-restrictions-in-franz-joseph-after-town-runs-dry-2012011117 http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/water-restrictions-in-franz-jo...
- prawn 12y agoI can't imagine NZ are suffering from a drought. A few years back, I visited my brother in Auckland in a time when we had water restrictions at home (in South Australia). Water was cheap there and in no danger of running short, so I got the impression that there was as much as you wanted to pay for. Which meant he'd often relax by standing in the shower drinking a beer. Back home, councils were handing out water-saving shower heads, people could only water their gardens on alternating days, emptying dams made the news, etc.
