Wonderful has $3.6 billion dollars worth of agricultural land in California. They also own a lot of water rights in the state. The water restrictions you hear about? Guess why it’s hard to get water to all the houses that have popped up over the last couple of decades.
They did this with Iran and pistachios too. The Wonderful company lobbied to stop imports of Iranian pistachios because they were competition.
Is that why pistachios are so goddamn expensive for the past few years? Or was that going to happen anyway?

I like my tree nuts, but why they have to make it so unethical to enjoy…?
possibly. pistachios are Iran’s biggest export after petroleum products iirc
