Here’s a downer that’s also fun: avocados are water hogs. It takes about 70 gallons of water to grow just one avocado. That’s more than an almond, more than a tomato, and enough to fill your bathtub. Eating too many means you’re basically showering in avocado juice.
Also, avocados travel thousands of miles to reach you. The carbon footprint of a single avocado is real. So if you’re eating five a week, you’re part of the green-gold convoy. Go easy on the planet, too. Your toast doesn’t need to cost the earth.
