I don't think the avocado toast meme has spawned the popularity of avocados, but rather the other way around. Avocados have become very popular in the low-carb/paleo/"health" community, alongside coconut oil, and various other trending foods. I don't think that people have been lacking the knowledge to put avocado on toast until a meme about millennials never being able to buy a house due to spending too much money on avocado on toast.

They're also VERY popular for baby foods these days as well for the reasons you mentioned. Lots of people are trying to avoid too much sugar for their babies.

  It's popular for baby foods for the same reasons that banana is - babies like it, it's fairly nutrient-dense, and it's soft so doesn't pose a large choking risk.

Exactly. Ask any quack chiropractor and he'll tell you about the "superfood" benefits of avocado.
