I wish my code was half as good as my expectations for how my code should be. My lattes are better than my code, so maybe I should make latte art instead of ascii art
I can understand that sentiment, but that kind of fallacy isn't super helpful to help the discourse. The point isn't to never eat avocado again, but rather lower the consumption of avocado to a sustainable level. Same thing with eating meat, or using plastic products: one doesn't have to stop doing those things to help contributing with lowering our footprint in the planet, but lowering the frequency with which we do those things would certainly help, especially if everyone did it.
"As a result of the demand from the US for avocados, farmers in Mexico are influenced to increase the size of their farms, which is now leading to environmental issues"
So does the majority of the foods we eat.
"According to several news sources, avocado growers and pickers in Mexico reported being extremely unhappy with the wages they receive"
If this magical fruit is in such high demand, then I think the farmers ought to decide the value.
as others already stated, this is true for almost every kind of food. the problem is not "eating avocado", the problem is "overpopulation".
and all those environmental damages and high carbon footprint are results of just that.
stop eating avocados, stop using cars, stop making gadgets, technology etc., that targets the consequence, but not the cause.
the only permanent solution to that is colonization of other worlds. yes, i mean planets, moons, etc. dilute the population amongs more worlds. the earth will completely regenerate just by itself if we cut it's population in half.
we must focus all of our resources and efforts to colonization, not to that "green BS" which does not solve anything in long term.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
avocado? really? how about this: canr.msu.edu/news/avocado_consumpt...
by contributing to "avocado" market you're contributing to killing this planet.
Same for basically any product we consume. You won't save planet by not eating avocado.
