Apropos very little except being related to a bunch of almond growers and sick of the repeated "OMG! It takes a gallon of water to grow an almond! California has to stop growing almonds!" (esp. Mother Jones): The current World Wildlife Fund magazine notes that it takes NINE gallons of water to produce one teaspoon of sugarcane-based sugar. (I know, I know, the drought's local. For now.)
