The growers had to drill down to 1000ft, depleting the water so that local people don&#39;t have water to drink and have to pay for water delivered to them. All because avocado is so healthy. I&#39;m sure its not all farmers, but for now I&#39;m going to reduce my avocado consumption. I know it won&#39;t help much because its such a big fad and people are so addicted to it now.</p> <p>I have begin to eat more grassfinished and pasture raised animals, greatly reduced my purchase of fruit and vegetables from the stores, and eating plants more from my garden. I do want to support farmers, but quality of foods from the super market just get worse every year, including the &#39;organic&#39; ones.</p>
