    I love cashews. Eat them by the fistful. I always think about the energy and time to get each one of those nuts to my table, only for me to gobble them down in 3 seconds

      Yeah I think of this too. I worry that they’re not really an ecologically sound food source - i think it takes a lot of water to grow a cashew because of the fruit, which is discarded.

        I feel like if farmers grew it locally, they would probably be distributing the fruits in their neighbourhood and maybe having roast parties every harvest.
