And then produce prices rise until even the most absurd federal subsidies can't stop people from planting things other than corn, and then produce prices are super high and meat prices are super high because corn gets more expensive too, and then we have massive food price inflation.

It's basically just a market correction, but a big one while our entire food system is reconfigured and American diets adjust.

My understanding is that the most water-intensive/hungry crops in California that consume all this water are Alfalfa and Almonds.

I feel like we can all adjust our diets to survive without alfalfa and almonds...
