“Meanwhile, it’s become a cliché for baby boomers to malign millennials for consuming too much avocado toast. Which means ... baby boomers are mad because we’re enthusiastically eating fresh vegetables on whole grain breads?”
Avocados are fruit, not vegetables. I do think the line about doing what “we” bugged them to do for the first 12 years of their lives was pretty good though. I’m a boomer and my mother was one of the first “health food nuts”. I grew up eating nothing but whole wheat everything, “sand and gravel bread” as we used to call it.
Darn. My 23-year-old son has been eating avocado toast. I buy him the whole-grain bread at the "used bread store" for $.79 a loaf (and buy-3-get-1-free).
I find avocadoes revolting. I told him that he needs to wash-rinse-dry-putaway the bowl he mashed the avocadoes in, instead of leaving it in the sink for the help. Otherwise, when I find avocadoes in the kitchen, I will give them to the neighbors.
Straightened right up, he did.
