    Surprising that a California senator wouldn't know why a product based on almonds (which require insane amounts of water) would be less sustainable. But it's one of those things you don't know until you're OBSESSED with it.https://twitter.com/ajjaffe/status/1116372183633276929 …

    Kamala Harris ordered an iced coffee with oat milk. I asked why & she said because it was recommended, proceeded to ask the barista why oat milk, and we all got a lesson on why it’s more sustainable than almond milk #IACaucus pic.twitter.com/ORE48NpjpB

        extra interesting when you factor in the overwhelming sense of drought dread all californians have felt the past few years

        The question was why it was recommended, not why it's more sustainable.

        actually those of us who lived thru the drought in California a few years ago know this info about almonds really well. Harris really should talk to Feinstein (or Boxer) someday about water issues in her state

        I’m guessing she does know, and is not dumb enough to call her state’s considerable almond industry unsustainable and bad for the environment

        Or, she does know, but is too diplomatic to be the one that says it? Especially as almonds are bad, they really are, but they're a big and politically connected business in her state?

        Almonds are sucking up all the water in the state. Everyone in California knows this. EVERYONE.

        Given the state produces 80% of the world’s almond supply, it may be a case of willful ignorance.

        It was near impossible to get through the California drought in 2015 without hearing the one almond=one gallon (dubious?) stat. And for more plugged in types, the counterargument that beef results in less protein per water used

        Or maybe she just deferred to what the Barista had to say about it because not every single utterance of a candidate has to be a teachable moment?
