Health advocates have been extolling the benefits of almonds for years.
And, increasingly, products like almond milk and almond butter are taking
up space on kitchen shelves.
.
But there is a movement in California discouraging almond consumption,
thanks to that state's massive, years-long drought. The drought is
affecting almost everyone in the state and compelled state governor Jerry
Brown to announce unprecedented water conservation measures last month.
.
Critics, though, say officials aren't targeting the right people: farmers.
.
Farmers account for a biggest share of water use in California, and
almonds are a major crop in the state.
.
According to the Almond Hullers and Processors Association, the group that
represents the industry, each nut requires about four litres of water to
grow.
.
Adam Keats, director of the California Water Law Project at the non-profit
Center for Biological Diversity, is among those who say that's too much.
.
"On a personal level, I have reduced and nearly eliminated my consumption
of California almonds," he said. "Everyone consuming California almonds
should recognize that right now, at the stage of the drought that we're
in, they're consuming a disproportionate amount of a state resource that
is, California water."
