he misses the point that most water usage in Cali is due to alfalfa farmers who export.
he also doesn't really discuss a lot of grown food doesn't just go to the produce section, it's sent to be processed and they're much less picky about aesthetics. produce sections are a pretty small percentage of food purchased.
he shouldn't care if food is left in the field or under a tree - it's going to decompose properly, something he had an issue with.
i like John Oliver, but this one seemed pretty poorly researched. he's mostly just showing clips from a single documentary.
