Ever wonder which foods guzzle the most water?
In the latest Water Street Questions, people shared their guesses on which foods require the most water to produce, sparking a lively conversation about water’s hidden role in our diets.
Many pointed to vegetables, with answers like “to grow any vegetable” and “produce and fruit,” reflecting the common belief that crops are water-intensive.
One earth sciences teacher nailed it: “Beef is actually the number one answer,” revealing meat’s massive water footprint.
This engaging exercise shows how everyday conversations can uncover surprising truths about water use, inspiring us to think critically about sustainability in our food choices.
