Editorial Food aff ects your health, but it also impacts the Earth ll bodies are beautiful. Earth, on the other hand, hasn’t been looking so hot — unless you count global warming, of course. Whether it’s carbon di- oxide emissions or the burning of one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, we’re making the Aworld uglier every day. At this point, it seems we don’t re- ally have a grasp on what’s important, especially when it comes to food. We suggest staying away from certain food items as they might not be as eco-friendly as they seem. Many people drink almond milk as a healthy alternative to cow’s milk. Almond milk may taste good, but it isn’t the best milk alternative as far as the environment is con- cerned. Almonds take a lot of water to grow: nearly a gallon per almond. This should especially be concerning because they’re commonly grown in California, a state known for its long droughts, and the amount of land used for these farms doesn’t help either. Try oat milk instead. It’s better for the environment (al- monds take about six times more water than oats to grow), tastes good and has pretty cute branding. Unfortunately, not every food product has a friendlier alternative like oats, and some pose a more dangerous risk to the planet — and even people. On Aug. 8, 19 people were found dead around the Mex- cian city of Uruapan. The reason? Avocados. Within the Mexican state of Michoacán, the avocado industry brings in about $1.5 billion, which makes sense as Mexico produces 45 percent of the world’s avocados. Apparently, the Jalisco New Generation cartel became upset that farmers were as- sisting other cartels with avocado production. It’s crazy to think about, but what we eat does have an effect on the lives of others. The situation sort of relates to our relationship with technology: we know where it comes from, we know about the conditions it was made in but we feel like we can’t do Column anything about it. We’ve become too accustomed to con- venience and we quake at the idea of change, so it doesn’t seem like we’re going to take action anytime soon.
