Udi 9yr I love Avocado. But, a whole one every day sounds exhausting.

marynfulton2 9yr Agreed. Too much of anything can turn into a bad thing

lauren 9yr I think I could be up to this. Or at least half an avocado a day.

LannyGoLightly 9yr Love the texture and flavor of avocados. Working in food, I've come to see avocados as anti-Slow Food though. For all the energy and cost put into growing, harvesting, and transporting them - usually from Central or South America, there is Soooooo much food waste! For all the cases we bring in, there is a limited window when they can be used. You blink and they've gone brown. So they get trashed. We order more so that the vicious cycle begins again. So, yes. I like avocados, but will only enjoy them if I'm near where they are grown.

marynfulton2 9yr Such a good point @LannyGoLightly. I know I really feel much better when I eat seasonally and locally

mirasingh 9yr Yea I think about that @LannyGoLightly every time I go to buy avocados and I leave the over ripe ones on the shelf - what do they do With them? Just trash?

LannyGoLightly 9yr @mirasingh I suspect in supermarkets the "imperfect" avos get turned into the pints of guacamole. We do the same, but as staff meal!

mirasingh 9yr Oh nice! @LannyGoLightly where do you chef? In NY?

DietID_TeamDietitians This is my all time favorite snack. I swap in crunchy, no sugar added almond butter to switch it up. I also try it with a dash of cinnamon on top.

JayH Pumpkin and broccoli sound like a delicious combo. I may try roasting one now that they are widely available.

Like I needed more reasons to eat avocado..
