79. So the question is people or lettuce.

Farming in the west is NOT sustainable. It will have to stop.
There is enough water for people but not farming.
Lettuce is 95% water. Then we put it in trucks and ship it to the east. Contrary to what the farmer in this piece says we can grow lettuce in the east. Up and down the entire east coast we can grow lettuce. We do not have to grow lettuce in Minnesota. I live in eastern Pa and I have water within ten feet of the top of my well year around. This time of year the aquifer is popping out of the ground all over my property. There are farms all over my community that are no longer being farmed. However with 52,000 farms and 7.3 million acres of farmland, agriculture is a big business in Pennsylvania.
In California only 15% of the land is farmland. 25% in Pa.

Almonds use 1-3 gallons of water PER almond! That is a crazy waste of water when you don't have enough water for people. Bulldoze the almond trees and plant them somewhere else.

I got a can of dehydrated water for Christmas. Maybe the west could use some of that. Every drop of water on this earth has already been through a dinosaurs bladder. We have the same amount of water we always had. The same amount as when the earth was formed.

You still can't convince people that climate change is real!!!
