So what's the problem with cutting down some stupid trees?, you might ask, especially if you're a particularly insensitive non-conservationist type who can't imagine a life without the healthy fats of our beloved alligator pears. There are further concerns associated with thinning these Michoacán forests; avocado trees use far more water than pine and fir trees, drinking up much of the water that would otherwise go to nearby streams and serve as a supply for the area's flora and fauna. The forests are home to an abundance of local wildlife, particularly monarch butterflies, many of whom migrate there in the winter.

That's not to mention all of the chemicals—pesticides, fertilizers, etc.—and pollution associated with farming and transporting all of these avos. Think big trucks crowding local roads, and even more wood needed—and thus more trees chopped down—in order to box up and ship the products after they're picked.

US American here. I don't give a fuck about Mexico. I hope that drug-ridden shithole burns to the ground. They flood this great nation with tax-dodging illegal immigrants and opiates. Shithole country full of murderers and drug dealers. I wonder why everyone risks their lives trying to come to the US. Hmm...

Oh no, not Mexico...

I thought you americans were supposed to care about the environment?

>>13649391
i'll support anything that will kill all life on this planet sooner

>>13649414
I’m Canadian

>>13649391
This is every vegans face when presented with the ecological Holocaust they are causing....

>>13649414
>I thought you vegans were supposed to care about the environment?

>>13649414
Americans will ignore or defend atrocities as long as their corporate overlords demand they do so

>>13649416
Woah! Holy shit!!!

>try to care about the environment
>every time there's a news story that says "amerisharts are eating so much guacamole that their Mexican peons are torching every forest in mexico" or "amerifats wipe so much shit from their shitty buttholes that Canada has annexed their beloved national forest to make toilet paper for America" I am too amused to be upset

all my avocados come from guatemala

>>13649461
Hahaha ya. I love how the people who want to destroy Israel and give it to the Palestinians are the same ones that go around calling everyone nazis. Don’t get me wrong, lots of us would be more than happy to see Israel wiped off the map, But plenty of us don’t think any higher of the Palestinians...

sounds to me the problem is Mexicans have an obsession with American money

>>13649414
Not since 2016.

>destroying anything in Mexico
Good.

>>13649489
This.
And it’s hipsters and vegans that are driving up demand. Hipsters ruin everything.

>>13649414
>I thought you americans were supposed to care about the environment?

lol @ you confusing virtue signaling with action.

>>13649492
Vegans only started eating avocados en mass in 2016? The fad started way earlier than that.

Avocado toast >>>>>>> Mexicans

hth

>>13649391
Americans don’t give a fucking shit about the environment unless someone plasters it on Hulu and YouTube commercials. Americans don’t give a fuck about anything that isn’t streamlined to their eyeballs or pounded into their heads by “educators.”
Anyone who’s just beginning to understand this needs to stop being a propaganda-driven robot with no self-awareness and perceptual awareness of the world around them.

>>13650341
americans, eh?

>>13649414
Not as much as I want to see Mexico and everyone from/currently living there die.

>>13650341
non-americans should do something about it. Oh wait you cant

>>13650343
I am American you fucking dolt
>>13650347
Not even Americans can do anything about it or else our country wouldn’t be such a sweltering shithole of identity-politics and lackluster “change”

>>13650365
maybe you shouldn't exclude trannies from your environmental efforts

if pine trees didn't want to be destroyed they should've evolved to be tastier

>>13649391
The fucks this our and we shit. I dont eat avocados

>>13649391
Is it just me or did avocados and avocado products start tasting worse after they got popular?

>>13649391
if they want to destroy their own country to make our food I say let them

>>13650425
they were never good to begin with. wake up

>>13650425
They don't really have any taste any more like they used to. Completely bland.

>>13650409
Pine nuts are delicious

>>13649391
This is great news because I dont like avocados or Mexicans.
Gonna watch this one from the sidelines and see how it plays out.

>>13650425

>>13649479
My avocadoes come from guackamolia

>>13649396
We're talking about the forests and animals, not their garbage culture and people.

>>13649391

>>13649526
and ketofags

>no mention of the Cartels forcing farmers to grow avocado at gunpoint

>>13649391
>>13649394
Fortunately, I don't eat avocado, so I don't care.
It's just plant grease and it tastes like nothing.

>>13649414
You thought wrong.
Climate change politics takes two forms in America:
1) Retards denying that anthropogenic climate change is a thing
2) Retards virtue signalling for internet points
And a third group who knows it's already too late and has ceased to give a shit

frig off forests i need my 'cados

>>13649391
I have seen anti vegans buy avocados. This thread is so ironic because a anti vegan who yelled bacon at me buys 5 avocados a day while I never bought one

>>13649461
It’s the Mexicans cutting down the forests for money.

>>13649391
Mexico finally provides something of value to the world and immediately starts fucking it up with deforestation

>>13649391
oh it's this same exact thread with the same exact formatting again

gee whiz

>>13649391
I feel like this is something the Mexican government should handle.

>>13649443
>Thinking vegans are the only ones who enjoy avacado.
Cope harder you fucking retard

>>13649391
I only buy them at fruit stands. They're everywhere in Californians usually 1/5th store pices.

>>13649391
Good

>>13649391
wtf I love avocado now

No, unscrupulous Mexican farmers are destroying Mexican forests, and they're being paid to do it by a single-digit cabal of fat cats.

Supply controls demand in America. Introduce any product, and so long as it has positive qualities, people will develop tastes for it, and eventually dependencies, and its popularity will increase.

You would never blame a dog for driving up demand on milkbones. The demand for the item is created because a higher power decided to supply the item. It can just as easily stop, if it had the mind, the values, and the guts to do it.

>>13649391
But all the avocado I eat is grown in Australia, and I'm supporting local farmers.

>>13650490
elaborate, im genuinely interested

>>13649414
>I thought you americans were supposed to care about the environment?

>>13649479
Alright, Mr. Park Avenue Manicure.

>look at me look at me
>look at how enlightened I am for crying about how everything is hopeless and doomed
>gimme attention gimme gimme
if everything is so bad, why do you still live?

>>13649391
That sounds like a Mexico problem not a me problem

>>13649414
My Red White and Blue country don't give two shits about what's going on in Mexico.

I hate Mexico so I’m glad. Brb. Going to buy some avocados

>>13655786
Agreed. that anon is delusional if they think only vegans buy avocados. everyone buys avocados not vegans

>nooooooo
>you can't plant a tree in place of another tree

>>13649391
NOOOOOOOOO I NEED AVOCADO FAT TO BE VEGAN NO NO NO
