I definitely like the occasional avocado. I recently ran across a viedo about their production and was very supprised at how much water it takes to grow a kilo of avocado.

In other research I learned that large corporations are planting enormous orchards of them in South America and South East Asia. The environmental impact is devastating and water taken from the very poor is sad.

The majority of the new demand has come from China.

It is common to see the health benefits of avocado touted primarily in the west and as in most cases it comes at the expense of the most poverty stricken among us.

What are your thoughts....
