      Nowhere near as bad as meat and dairy. So you’re vegan, right? Otherwise saying this would be hypocritical.

        Avocados also tend to be grown in places where water is less available… If we all became vegetarians tomorrow, avocados would still be a big problem

          But if you still eat meat and die on the hill of avocados being bad for the planet then you’re a hypocrite. If you truly believe both things can be bad then practice what you preach brother

          Actually, stealing is bad, so I can get away with murdering as many people as I want because at least I’m not a thief.

        Requiring a lot of water to grow something isn’t inherently problematic. The issues only come in when wealthy landowners steal drinking water during drought conditions to grow things. When it comes down to brass tacks, the cartels are more of an issue with avocado production (and actually one of the bigger reasons they are expensive).

        All that to say, it doesn’t really matter in the end. If you enjoy your avocados and can afford them, have at it. We’re all doomed to be crushed under the cloven hooves of our billionaire gods anyway.
