No one ate avocados until up to a few years ago. We’ll do fine without them.
Haven’t avacadoes been grown in California and other states, since at least the 1930s and called “alligator pears” and avacado pears?
I make the best guacamole and love avocado on a Crab Louie. The bad taste about avocados is the cost. The one dollar price for one avocado does not seem right. I’ve been in southern California and people have no trouble growing avocado trees in their yards, packed with avocados. It seems like a simple crop to grow. Having labor problems only encourages more mechanization.
Wait until what the Chinese government will call giving in to “labor unrest” starts jacking up prices on everything we get from China.

Holy guacamolee! ...
There are other places in Central America that produce Avacados. We learned to like Avacados from good friend of my wife who was born in Costa Rica.
Some stupid MX worker strike is not the end of the world.
I have lots of dip recipes that don’t require them. (I do like avacados)
Most overrated food item in history. Bland and greasy. If only this brings an end to the Mexican food craze and restores sanity to the nation, it will be a good thing as Martha says. Might end the career of Aron Sanchez too, which is another good thing.
Not clear to me why anyone eats avocados. If they disappeared I would not even notice.
The very least of my worries.
Nothing happened for about a month, then they sprouted. Got about three feet high, with leaves as big as my hands, then they suddenly died. Don't know why.
I have a Ghost Pepper plant growing in that bucket now.
Avocados are only good for a good tangy guacamole dip - otherwise, they’re “the pits”...
After Hurricane Katrina came thru South Florida in ‘05, there were so many avocados knocked off the trees that they were selling them for 4 for $1. I bought a bunch of course. BTW, there are the LARGE avocados, not the puny California Haas avocados.
Does the avocado business in mexico really rely on Mexicans picking them? Maybe they should advertise and get some of their deserters back from the US to increase the labor pool and do the jobs Mexicans won't do...
Growers and pickers in Mexico
I tried an avocado once years ago.
Can’t figure out what the attraction is.
This isn’t going to affect me in the least.
