Ok, how do almonds compare to other protein rich crops like peanuts? I'll tell you, not well: https://www.nationalpeanutboard.org/content/1126/images/Wate...

A ag product should be priced to reflect their 'externalities', and that includes things like water use, but perhaps we should be subsidizing healthy stuff like produce over field corn and soybeans

Nothing, beans are ok, one of best sources of protein for plant-based diets.

Biggest problem with soy is that 77% is consumed by animal agriculture, which is causing much harm in the world (deforestation, pesticides/herbicides, runoff, biodiversity loss, co2 emissions, ...).

The overuse of soy in the food chain has lead to high estrogen levels in about 50% of the population.
