It's a little more complicated than just that. Yes there is hype, but yes there is a serious water shortage. I predict this winter there will be an overabundance of water including landslides and shit.

The central valley of California is one of the largest agricultural regions of the US. You can't just shut down all these farmers who depend on their income from their crops. I agree they should be growing more drought friendly crops as drought is a common occurrence in this part of the world. That said though, they gotta grow what people will buy, and only so many people are gonna buy prickly pears and figs.

A large percentage of California's crops feed the rest of the country. Doesn't have anything to do with being hipster, it has to do with demand. Have you been to California's central valley? It's about as far from "hipster" as you're gonna get. Unless hipster means rednecks, mexicans, and lots of meth.

if California stopped growing almonds, there would be, overnight, almost no almonds in the world. no almonds for hipster almondmilk, or any other purpose either.  same with avocadoes, artichokes, and probably some other shit.  What they need to stop growing is cotton in the desert.  Out around bakersfield they grow cotton like a motherfucker. and rice. wasteful as fuck

Also for the record, most commercially produced "almond" milk actually has a very low percentage of almonds in it and is mostly sweeteners and fillers.

We also throw away more food than we eat. So cut government subsidiaries for grains and other overproduced food stuffs. Also cotton lol wut. And why dont we invest in solar sea water distillery's. Water water every where but not enough political or private intrest to take a drink.

Where are you going to put desalination plants that isn't going to cause a major public uproar? Rich people don't want to give up their waterfront properties, and the public don't want to give up the state parks. The only viable thing I can think of is Camp Pendleton and kick those military bums outta there. Water is more important than war.

I do like almond milk, not every kind but the store around me has their own brand of almond milk and I really like it.
Half gallon is only 2.60 and lasts a lot longer than milk.

Hearing all that goes into almonds kind of makes me sad though but I'll get over it.

I think almond milk sucks compared to other alternative milks. Especially in coffee. It always separates and leaves a sediment layer on the bottom and is super thin on top.

I just drink it and use it for cereal, haven't tried too many other alternatives.

Cashew milk sounds like it might be good, I really love making cashew "butter" though.

I make sure to have that on special occasions, good to have at festivals for sure.
