I stopped buying avocados for this reason. Its the only way to win.

  Easy for you if you can just start and stop avocados whenever you like, but what about the rest of us addicts?

  Why? You are punishing the avocado growers more than the cartels. Corruption is rife. Every single transaction you make in an economy contains a percentage of evil (example: surely you disagree with some of what your government does): how did you decide that avocados are beyond your limit and carrots are not?

    Its simply easier to track back the effects of the cartel in avacado's than anything else in my purchase radar. But mostly because of this story. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/feb/08/monarch-butterflies-under-threat-mexico-aoe https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/feb/08/monarch-... With the price of avocados pushing higher and higher, I think there is too much money in avocado the avocado trade. Farming is basically limited to specific areas. Lowering demand (how ever small) is making a measurable change that I fell like I am contributing to. Voting with my dollars is the only true ways to make a change. As much as this might "hurt" the farmers, it is also hurting the cartel.
