[quote=Anonymous][quote]Nut trees are a net gain for the environment because they require trees to be planted, which is generally positive. Eating local is great, but transport costs are not the only ones[/quote] Whoa not even close. Nut trees are actually very bad for the environment. Almonds and pistachios require a crazy amount of water. To create nut groves, large trees that are more drought tolerant and help retain ground water are cleared. Eating a local free range chicken is better for the environment than many plant based foods. [/quote]
