      Protein, plus fiber, plus complex carbohydrates. What’s not to love? Plus it makes a smaller environmental impact compared to farming poultry or larger animals. It was mind blowing to hear rags like the WSJ demonize the younger generation for eating avocado toast; it’s a fucking cheap meal. Avocados were like $1 a pop and are a good source of fiber and health fat. I can’t wait for rags like the WSJ to start publishing articles like, “How dare the poors waste money on eating!”

        They are great. I was going to make a bean stew yesterday but this article made me go buy a roast chicken just to spite them. Beans are for tonight!

        Yeah, avocados imported into Canada are expensive but if they grow near you I can see them being stupid cheap.
