    The scapegoating of almonds is popular disinfo at least in California. It’s part of the water wars. I’m pretty sure it’s promoted by the meat industry and other nefarious characters. I’ve heard it many times.

      There is a lot of disinformation for sure. We are also growing a lot of crops in places we shouldn’t be, and almonds in California are a pretty good example.
