Congratulations per your edits, I don't disagree with you, but if you are in these metabolic states as nearly half of Americans are, there is a clear winner between the two and that's just a fact.

I agree its of fact. However as per commentary above, if you do not have insulin resistance then eating either of the two does come down to taste preference, with both options being quite healthy foods when eaten in moderation. Additionally, for those that do not have insulin resistance, eating either a Banana or Avocado is not going to put you into any health risks. Infact eating either of them as part of a balanced diet with exercise is likely to have positive health benefits. I'm not American, however in my opinion, people by and large aren't waking up with insulin resistance due to no fault of their own. It is due to lack of exercise and chronic consumption of high GI foods that aren't eaten in combination with a relatively healthy diet.

  Nearly half of Americans are IR or worse and the majority of them do not know it. Many Americans believe that bananas are a good source of potassium and do not know that avocados are a better source of potassium. Ergo, for nearly half of Americans, they should be eating avocados instead of bananas.

    "they should be eating avocados instead of bananas" Depends if the reason is you want the most potassium possible. If I want to eat something prior to exercising, I'd be better off eating the Banana than the Avocado. However I understand if you are keto, potentially not. I'll rephrase your point. Avocado's are a better source of potassium for those with IR who are looking for foods richest in potassium.
