Or you know, we should stop farming in the desert. But that's just me.
Sure, we should, but using our water to farm for another country is even worse.
Isn't that one of those cases where people farm alfalfa and sich just to keep their water allowance while the state issues water quotas on made up water availability figures which vastly overstate how much water is actually available?
Salt Lake is drying up in Utah that will make the city unhabitable for the same fucking crop. And no one stops them.
This kind of shit you get your pitchforks out and start dragging rich people from thier fucking homes.
It doesn't help we elected a water official whose only experience is selling water to the Saudis. Wanna guess what he instantly did the moment his power was switched on?
Execute heretics?
In a way, yes. That is basically the sentence when you're selling water out of the desert like they're hot cakes.
"We told you so" incoming in 3, 2, 1...
Sounds like a made up word (but no) :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfalfa
Alfalfa, also called lucerne, is a perennial flowering plant (...). It is cultivated as an important forage crop in many countries around the world. It is used for grazing, hay, and silage, as well as a green manure and cover crop.
Alfalfa sprouts make many sandwiches better
Very good indeed. I heard there is concern about salmonella bacteria in alfalfa... Maybe soaking in water + salt + vinegar be enough ?
Edit (from wikipedia) :
Alfalfa sprouts may contain microbiological pathogens, mainly from Salmonella or E. coli, which have caused numerous food product recalls and illness outbreaks, putting sprouts into a "high risk" category for food safety. People with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly, pregnant women, or those taking prescription drugs affecting the immune system, should not eat sprouts.
