crops are kind of important though

You can grow almonds elsewhere, they are not needed for daily life

  • CA, apparently, grows almonds for the entire United States, and 80% of the world's almonds, too.

    • Sure, I'm not saying they don't, but it isn't a critical crop for day to day life, biologically speaking. No one is going to die for not eating almonds.

      Is it economically important? For sure.

      Is it critical for living? No.

They don’t have to be grown in the desert

  • Almonds aren’t grown in the desert, they’re grown in the Central Valley. And they’re grown there because before it’s incredibly fertile soil.
