So how bad are almonds? They’re a problematic fave. They’re not the eco-villain of the food world, but they’re definitely the sassy teenager who uses all the hot water. You can still date them, just don’t marry them.
Eat them responsibly. Buy organic to avoid the worst pesticides. Support farms that respect bees. And for the love of all that is holy, stop buying almond flour if you’re just going to bake one cookie and let the rest go stale. That’s the real environmental crime.
Now go hug a walnut. It’s fine. You’re fine. The planet will survive your snack choices—just maybe don’t make a habit of it. Cheers, nut friend.
