[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think ‘food snobbery’ was a poor choice of words. You should have just asked how any food choices oppress people. I happen to like quinoa and avocado even though I eat both only occasionally. [/quote]

+1. Op you've derailed your own thread by calling avocados snobby. Is "avocado toast" the first you've heard of avocados? I get that avocado toast is trendy, and maybe you know some snobs who eat it, but regular people were eating avocados before the avocado toast trend came along. [/quote]

NP, but can yiu even fathom that it’s the avocado toast and almond milk “trends” that are causing problems? Because people used to eat avocados when they were in season, but now there is pressure for them to always be available and in season (likewise almonds, which used to be for eating, but now need to support a whole “milk” industry).

Quinoa, I’m less concerned about. I’m Canadian and I support Canadian quinoa growers. Bet ha didn’t know that was a thing! [/quote]

Avocado toast hasn't increased avocado consumption that much. [/quote]

US avocado consumption has exponentially exploded:

That's why Mexican cartels murder people over avocados - they're now more valuable than weed crops. Every time you eat avo toasts and dip your chips in guac during the super bowl you help kill poor central Americans and support Mexican cartels.[/quote]

Moral of the story: do drugs instead.[/quote]
