- jl6 3y agoWell, avocados are good if you need more iron.
- 6th 3y agoThe avocados must grow!
- atoav 3y agoAnd if you wanna drain a lot of water with what you are eating. A single avocado needs 70 liters to grow, a magnitude more than a tomato. Depending on where that farming is being done that might already be an issue.
- civilitty 3y agoAn avocado also has an order of magnitude more nutritional value. Tomatoes are 95% water with little to show for the other 5%. Avocados have significantly more carbs, fat, and nutrients.
- andrei_says_ 3y agoIf concerned about water it might be a good idea to start with meat. A pound of beef needing about 7000 liters.
- atoav 3y agoI eat meat once a month max, so I got that front covered already I guess.
- andrei_says_ 3y agoI agree. The American cuisine suggests meat daily, sometimes even multiple times per day. Reducing this to a few days a week for enough people could make a huge difference.
- lobocinza 3y agoMeat is extremely nutritious. And isn't 7000 L of water but of virtual water. This concept is meaningless as it is for decision making. It's way more complex than that.
- happymellon 3y agoI'm in the UK. Unfortunately we don't grow avocados, but we do have the water for it.
