California has huge Avocado growth but deals with the Newsom Cartel.

Oh the horror!

Avocados grow just fine in California and South Texas.

THEY WILL LOSE THE INCOME FROM THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF AVOCADOS SHIPPED TO THE USA.

If not for the suckers paying big money to Chipotle Restaurant this would be much less of a story. They are a major avocado player.

During the 70s/80s smuggling avocados to other states from California was a common thing, I turned down multiple offers to do it and now that I think about it, those offers were always made in the high end bar on the coast that was my hang out.

Are we about to see a disruption of the avocado supply chain? It's possible.

In 1966, when we were living in Darmstadt, Germany, a German friend of ours showed us an avocado and asked us how to prepare it. I don’t know where she got it from. Darmstadt is a long way from California.

Might restrict supplies and drive up the cost of avocados.

OH NO!!! In other news, the sun is going down in the west, shining thru my winder.

Avocados are way over-rated.

A friend from Cebu, Philippines, told me that he grew up eating avocados with milk and, I think he said, sugar on them. Has anyone ever heard of that?

He also said he only likes them fresh off the tree. I can understand that. Fresh fruit in Guatemala completely ruined unfresh fruit for me.
