Treehugger has the scoop on OJ and it ain’t good.

According to Lucy Siegle of the Guardian, “Making a litre of fresh orange juice requires 958 litres of water for irrigation and 2 litres of tractor fuel. Then there are the pesticides. Orange production uses more than any other food crop.with obvious potential knock-on effects for both the biodiversity of the orange groves (bear in mind some 8 per cent of the world’s agricultural land is already irrevocably damaged) and the health of low-paid and unregulated fruit-picking staff. One Oxfam report found independent orange farmers in Thailand financially crippled by loans taken out to pay for insecticides, and in poor health from spraying for 44 weeks a year.”
