Almonds producers in California use roughly 60-85 times more water annually than all US data centers combined, depending on the exact figures and whether indirect power-plant water is included.

Wake up, people! Stop the evil producers of almonds!

I can't eat data centers. Almond milk, OTOH, is a great non-dairy substitute for my cereal.
Very true (I have almond milk in my fridge at all times), but we can't eat golf courses either and they use a lot more water.
