In this case it doesn’t, you’re stealing luxury items that are playing a huge huge role in water consumption. It’s like 91 liters of water per day per tree.
And an academic study focusing on global implications for water scarcity from the growth in avocado production says that that growing avocado requires “four times more water than the production of a kilo of oranges and ten times of that of a kilo of tomato”.
I’m aware how much water animals consume when compared to plants and there are crops that are simply unjustifiable and are running water reservoirs dry.
If we are to be intellectualy honest regarding preservation of resources, there are no sacred cows.
I agree, but all I’m saying is we can shame people for nearly any partaking in modern western society. Unfortunately, we ourselves are have no other choice thanyo partake ourselves. And our individual choices make very little to change the system. Therefore, I just find it funny that people lecture others on things like avocados. There’s a hundred worse things, but just because someone stole an avocado isn’t going to affect our society. We might as well start with bigger culprits, if we even think that going that route is relevant.
Either way this is a meme. No need to take it seriously.
Yes. Animals drink. They also pee, providing nitrogen fertiliser. It’s even worse when they are raised on a meadow instead of in a barn as then you have rainfall, which percolates.
Never trust a statistic you didn’t fudge yourself.
Have you ever thought about the massive water usage of international shipping?
No I’m serious. People complain about animal agriculture and then want herds of rowing bisons back. I’m actually not opposed to that either but that doesn’t mean that there will be less animals eating less plants. And if we don’t eat them then other predators will.
wait but would paying for it be better? does it just goes into the pocket of the store owner and gives them more motive to sell avocados? anyways i feel bad for enjoying avocados now sob
Oranges and tomatoes are also mostly water by weight. If you were to compare the water mass percentages of each of those fruits, you’d probably find the avocado is more efficient in calories and nutrients per water usage.

Now check up how much water is required for meat, and suddenly realise that you’re maybe fighting the wrong battle here mate.
Regardless.

I would also shoplift meat
Whataboutism is a logical fallacy. One has nothing to do with the other.
Exactly avocados being bad for the environment doesnt have anything to do with having the right to steal them.

Don’t forget all the water used to grow their food.
Like 70% of all our crops are grown to feed our livestock.

The best case scenario is people stop buying exotic foods and instead be ok with what is in season with an occasional treat.
Oranges and tomatoes are also mostly water by weight. If you were to compare the water mass percentages of each of those fruits, you’d probably find the avocado is more efficient in calories and nutrients per water usage.
So is an avocado, density isn’t really an indicator of water weight, you and I are mostly water and still fairly dense.
