Read up on the climate effects of eating avocado
Read up on deez nutz
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
It's possible for two things to be bad
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.
Circle of life?
wrong
Yee Avocado is expensive for a reason. Takes an absurd amount of water to grow.
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.
Obligatory “what about bottled water/hoa/golf industries?”
Caligula: You're telling me those things have had one neck this whole time?!
Every time you eat an avocado, a baby seal dies.
Almonds too
Read up on the climate effects of eating beef
Read up on 'whataboutism'
Yeah that's the thing I'm pointing out dude
Well I'm pointing out that I was responding to something actually mentioned in the post
If I don't eat beef, there's not much incentive to create better alternatives so that I don't.
Lmao are you unironically saying you're doing the right thing eating beef because you're creating incentive to make you stop eating beef?
That's the joke.
