Nuts: Superfood, climate problem, or sustainable solution?

Shell we go a little bit nuts together? This food group is having a bit of a *moment*; equally at home in our diets and social media feeds. We're told they're fantastic for our health, but they can also cause environmental damage. It's only natural that Emma and Sophie should investigate.
