Having grown up eating avocados daily as we had many trees in our yard and an orchard across the street, I am actually quite saddened by the reputation “avocado toast” has garnered. The liberals need to go find another fruit to stigmatize. If you can’t enjoy the little green goodness an avocado is, don’t waste it because you think it trendy. Leave them for those of us who have eaten them and enjoyed them as they are for over 50 years.

I eat avocados just like they are too! Cut them and grab a spoon 😂 😋 I would plant an avocado tree and lemon tree in my back yard if I could!

You CAN plant a tree. There is a lady here that has one and the avocados off it are the size of my head. Get growing girl!

I’ve been told I can’t because of where the tree would need to go and where our septic tank is. And I’ve been our area here it’s harder to grow them….not impossible….just harder. I was willing to try it, but the septic tank made me abandon the idea. Bummed though.

It is the best way!! So easy and delicious!!! And thankfully you can get avocados almost all year wherever you live so you don’t have to grow them - which is not easy without proper conditions!!

I'm in CA and avocados is such a major staple here! My favorite taco is a guacamole taco....heavenly! We use avocados in so many things, I can't imagine anyone disliking them. We had a friend visit from Minnesota a few years ago, and he had never had an avocado and thought they looked gross. He wouldn't even try it! I'm guessing avocados may not be sold in some parts of the country.
