A kg of almonds takes 3000 liters of water, so that's 1.9 calories per liter.

Near as I can tell water cost of meat ranges from 2000 l/kg for chicken to maybe 15,000 l/kg for beef. That's 0.09-0.6 calories/liter. So, 3-20x more people can eat almonds than meat.

You think they’re just growing and throwing away the almonds or something? Sheesh, people will use the stupidest most twisted logic to justify their own shitty actions.

"American meat consumption dwarfs almond consumption by over 50-fold. The average American eats over 220 pounds of meat annually, compared to just 2 pounds of almonds. While meat is a traditional dietary staple, almond consumption has surged by over 220% due to their popularity as a health snack and dairy substitute."
