Recently, avocados are considered worldwide to be perhaps the most popular plant-derived product. Culinary specialists prepare sauces and salads from it, food bloggers decorate fried toasts with slices of green fruits, and adherents of a healthy diet actively prepare smoothies from avocado.

However, today, residents of the United Kingdom are slowly but surely beginning to exclude avocados not only from their diet, but also from their country.

“We do this, acting in accordance with ethical issues,” say the owners of some catering establishments in London and Bristol. - Not many people know that huge volumes of water are needed to grow avocados. And this creates considerable problems for residents of those countries where avocados are grown. In particular, we are talking about the states of South America. ”

According to British restaurateurs, residents of Western countries are almost obsessed with the idea of ​​adding avocados to their daily diet as much as possible. In this regard, growing demand for this culture throughout the world. And to satisfy this demand, you need to maximize supply. Farmers of Latin America are striving for this with all their might. However, their approach is not always competent and environmentally friendly. Indeed, for the sake of the vast plantations of avocados, which Europeans are so fond of, many farmers massively cut down forests.

“Besides the fact that watering avocados requires an incredible amount of water, growing avocados provokes a large amount of emissions of greenhouse gas harmful to the atmosphere,” the researchers and the environmentally-minded British emphasize. And there is no doubt that in the near future the popularity of abandoning avocados will reach the same proportions as the current love for this culture.

The general public does not yet fully understand how to react to the behavior of some British restaurateurs. Many are convinced that abandoning avocados with such informational support is nothing more than a marketing dodgy trick. However, many adherents of organic and rational nutrition, as well as those who try to treat the environment with the utmost care, offer to abandon almonds, the consumption of meat and green tea "match".
