avocado

If you’ve been paying attention, you likely already know that Avocados aren’t exactly the cheapest or most environmentally-friendly foodstuff you can spread on your toast instead of buying a house.

In honor of National Avocado Day, which is apparently a thing, the good people at the Huffington Post did some important research into exactly how popular avocado actually is.

Who could think that a simple breakfast like avocado toast could become so damn controversial?

At this point, it’s hard to remember a time before the avocado was an inescapable element of food culture. Inspiring both, This supposed superfood has spawned both pop-up restaurants, and scathing critiques of millennial spending habits. Amidst all the hysteria and hype, however, there seems to be at least one reason for us to reconsider our appetite for this fatty fruit.

We’ll admit that it’s one of the most unfortunate food situations: You purchase an avocado in the hopes of making creamy, delicious avo toast... only to find that it’s still unripe as ever come the next morning. Or, alternatively, it's become an oblong blob of mush. There's just no winning.
