Longjohn ★ Posted November 4, 2021 Share #8 Posted November 4, 2021 Just this week someone posted about a woman crapping her pants halfway through a marathon and not stopping. She ran the last 13 miles of the race with a load in her shorts and she set a personal best for the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising… Avocados are out now, haven't you heard? The era of greasy ass flavor is over now. Avocado became a metonym for an entire millennial aesthetic. Chefs opened avocado-only restaurants. Avocado shortages became news as a nation worried where it’d get its heart-healthy fats. And finally, as avocado toast appeared at Starbucks and Dunkin’, the fervor waned. Which is why it’s hard to take chefs seriously when they say they’re ditching avocado because its cultivation is unsustainable. Sure, but it’s also just part of everyone’s diet now. Avocado is normie food. We’ve learned some more things about the avocado in the past 13 years since I wowed my friends with the sparkling innovation of avocado and eggs, and not just that it’s singlehandedly responsible for millennials’ low rates of homeownership. According to the Sustainable Food Trust, avocado’s popularity in North America and Europe is responsible for the crop’s massive carbon footprint, as most avocados are still grown in Central and South America. Increased cultivation has driven up productivity “to the detriment of the environment and there have been accusations of deforestation associated with plantation expansion, which has negatively impacted biodiversity.” Its popularity has also meant populations in Central and South America, for whom avocado has long been a staple food, have a harder time accessing it. Which is all why some chefs are saying they’re doing away with avocado on their menus. Thomasina Miers, co-founder of UK restaurant chain Wahaca, told the Guardian she switched from avocado to fava beans as the base for a guacamole-type dip because avocados “are in such global demand they are becoming unaffordable for people indigenous to the areas they are grown in.” The Guardian spoke to other chefs who’ve used peas, sunchokes, zucchini, and pistachios as avocado replacements. Tim Lang, a professor of food policy at City, University of London, says this is what happens when “an exotic food becomes normalized with no thinking through of the consequences.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was @Parr8hed, they just assumed it was a chick, due to him being a nurse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drugs are better than avocados, I feel. Probably more sustainable, Greta will thank them soon, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
