i’m on the phone with chan tonight and i don’t know how it comes up, but he tells me it takes a gallon of water to make one single almond. i’m like hold up, you can’t be serious. then he says california be having droughts, but they manufacture a good percentage of almonds. curious, i’m thinking like how much water is in the ocean (don’t ask why) and it’s something like 352 quintillion gallons of water. this got me curious of how many gallons it takes to make one walnut, which is my favorite nut. the answer? 5 gallons. for. one. walnut. i don’t know who all will find this fascinating, but damn i been tryna do right by my body by eating nuts and whole time i’m fucking up the climate.
i guess balance is hard to find in this life, huh?
