Grocer offers stoneless avocados to avoid 'avocado hand'

@lanika

Here in Brazil I have found a lot of native avocado trees across the country including untended lots so I think that some avocado eating animals escaped extinction somehow and someone is full of bullshit.

The megafauna thing is a bit of a puzzler, but it’s a quite parsimonious thing to assume - given that avocado is toxic to nearly all mammals. Except sloths. And humans. The latter arrived to late for avocado evolution (in the Americas, at least). The former… Have you ever seen a sloth handle an avocado?

Avocado hand is a hilarious term coming to think of sloths…

ETA: I think I haven’t had a thread for quite a while which was so much fun and triggered me to like so many posts.
Thanks, everyone.

Breakfast suggestion

1 ripe avocado cut into half slices

1 navel orange cut into half slices

1 teaspoon mayonnaise (or to personal taste)

Mix in bowl

garnish with chives

Bon appetite.

What? (extra characters)

@Lexicat

And I know that as a native Californian it is my gods-given right to eat avocados every damn day of the week

Sorry to hear about your local avocado crop this year. I guess we’ll all be paying more for avocados this winter, but at least I don’t eat them every day.
