Not getting it here. For those dedicated few that never eat any bananas, pineapples, mango or other exotic fruit, maybe occasional citrus from Europe only and certainly never anything out of season that can be grown in the uk a genuine Well Done! I try my bit, eat Scottish or UK meat and veg where I can, but my husband expects apples and pears on the table most of the year round.
There's no need to fear or criticise the nutrient content of avacado, they are rich sources of fats and vits, unlike most fruit and vegetables.
As for the problems with deforestation, slavery, harm of activists for fair trade, etc, I struggle to believe humanity is worse because of the crop, and if it wasn't about avocados, it would be something else, whether soya, dope or beef cattle. These are BIG problems, and I don't have the answers, but I don't think they can/should be blamed on the fruit being grown, just as easy to criticise any crop. Buy fair trade if you want to feel better.
To some extent organic, locally sourced, few hens for the garden, the good life, etc, have been branded 'fads' I've always wanted to be more self sufficient, and I've always enjoyed eating avacado, does that make either better or OK because I got on bord before publicity on Twitter?
Want an alternative so you can give up? I've found that ripe haws taste and look like tiny avacados - Dunno if they're safe to eat, seem to be ok, but you'd need SO many to make a delicious bowl of guacamole!
