Like all ongoing battles, it’s hard to recall why
exactly it all started, but I’ve finally had enough of the misplaced aggression
towards… Avocados.
The Avocado - once a beautiful element to many
salads, a hit in the 80’s when halved and filled with prawn cocktails. The
perfect breakfast side dish. So why is it, that cafes everywhere are insistent
on smashing our old friend the Avocado?

What did the Avocado ever do to you to justify such
aggression? (Other than the usual confusion whether it’s a fruit or vegetable)
Maybe this need to smash the avocado came when they
were labeled a ‘fat’ food. “Oh, Avocado, no thanks it’s full of fat.” But we
all turned back to the avocado when it was reveal that it was in fact, a ‘good
fat’ (best phrase ever)
So I vote we end the aggression, we stop the smashing
and start the loving. Join my campaign #nomoresmashedavocados
