How Meghan's favourite avocado snack - beloved of all millennials - is fuelling human rights abuses,

Quote
The Duchess of Sussex has rightly been praised for making the fusty old Royal Family more socially and ethically aware.

But that was until an old friend from her Hollywood days was invited round for a bite to eat and posted online a picture of what was widely assumed to be high tea.

Pride of place went to avocado on toast —on silver platters, no less. ‘Still being the avocado toast whisperer, YUM!’, trilled her guest, Daniel Martin. The celebrity make-up artist said it took him back to the days when he and Meghan Markle collaborated on her lifestyle blog, The Tig.

‘The consummate hostess,’ he enthused.Well, perhaps not so much.

The campaigning duchess may be passionate when it comes to racial equality and female empowerment, but for someone who wants to save the planet, she’s committed something of a faux pas with avocados.

For all their health benefits and tastiness, the fact is that rampant avocado production in the Third World has been linked with water shortages, human rights abuses, illegal deforestation, ecosystem destruction and general environmental devastation.

Laugh all you want. They look like an innocent fruit but avocados are more deadly than hand grenades....

Shit. Maybe that's what they were using in WWII. All the pics are black and white from then so you can't tell if they are green or not.

Anyone else immediately think of CA (the state that grows the most avocados, BTW)?

I didn't think you were that type of lady. Had you more into the Poodle Skirt and Pat Boone crowd.

I rarely think about Central America to be honest.

Possibly some sort of fluid. Probably Brylcreem.

Not being old enough to know for sure, I would guess so. Old pics of people using it look like they smell bad.

You add vinegar to that for flavor?

Oh yeah, I clean with vinegar all the time.  It's good at cutting soap scum, cleaning floors, polishing banisters, etc.

I polished the banister about an hour ago after I looked up who Meghan Markle was.

I'm guessing that's probably the same avocado, with photos taken 2 hours apart each time.

I wonder what percentage come from Calif. (and Mexico, maybe) vs. how many come from all other countries.
