Do you want to ban almonds because they require a lot of water? (1000x more AI?)

People aren't mortgaging their existence to get a piece of the almond market.

I’m so suspicious of that exact claim being repeated everywhere since a few weeks, that really feels like a slogan astroturfed. It’s also fairly shallow analysis. Water is localized, you cannot do a meaningful comparison without taking in account the impact on specific water sources, an aggregate doesn’t give you any insight (other than having a slogan)
