So okay, this is interesting enough I guess: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-09/just-when-the-world-craves-coconuts-the-caribbean-s-running-out But get a load of this part of the lede:
Rich-world? Really? First- and third-world were deemed out-of-bounds because they aren't P.C. (even though, somehow, most folks still don't understand that they're cold war terms and weren't meant to be derogatory), but rich-world gets a pass? That's okay when placed under the same scrutiny? Fcuk political correctness, it's stupid. |

Which is why you have no money. |

I actually do love coconut water. I love how variable it is—could be sugary-sweet, could have a sour, bitter tang; could be clear, a bit cloudy, real pink or any combination thereof. Like a box of chocolates only no HFCS, and good potassium! |

It may be that coconut water will become more plentiful and so cheaper (???). I just now redd that since peat (for gardening) takes a zillion years to form, they are developing a substitute material made from coconut shells. Gonna have to do something with all that water! |

You mustn't use peat for gardening. It needs to be saved for where it's really needed, in Scotland. You can keep your coconut water, and I'll keep mine. |
