I don't eat avocados, I don't understand the appeal of them (even with their health benefits). But I notice millennials love them. Many millennials want to often want to change the world. Becomes warriors of justice. But I wonder if they really know the very thing they love (avocado) has a very dark underbelly to where it comes from.
The amount of violence, blood shed and death that goes on to produce them is really crazy. Especially since americans are the main buyers of them. Between cartels/gangs killing people who don't give them a cut of avocado money, to the workers who get treated bad. And the fact that many of these big avocado fields use the only water resources that are near by.
Which has lead to villages having no water left since rivers dried up. And now they are very much fighting to stay alive. And in a country that is poor, corrupt and hot... there's not much hope for these people. Maybe its time millennials watch this and fight for the people behind their beloved avocado.
