Almonds are really tasty and healthy nuts that can help in losing weight and controlling blood sugar. And yet it is an indispensable source of milk for those with lactose intolerance. Almond milk is really possible to replace cow’s in some dishes. The reason you should think about its presence in the diet is moral. The fact that 80% of the world’s almonds are produced in California. It’s a multibillion-dollar business that stops at nothing. At the same time, in this state there are huge problems with fresh water. And the more of almonds is grown, the less water remains for other needs. Sooner or later it can lead to environmental disaster.
— Cashews —
Cashew nuts, which are filled with fiber, protein and the right fats really good for the body. But the growing and processing of these nuts is a process that is in violation of human rights. A large part of the cashew is exported from India and Vietnam, where it is mined with great labor working for pennies or even dependent people. This industry rests mainly on the inhabitants of a Vietnamese labor camps, which concluded in there for drug use. They even coined the term “blood cashews”, which illustrates the inhuman conditions in which they live and work.
