Much suffering for avocado and salmon.
Two very 'trendy' food items but behind them are scores of people who suffer just to get them to the tables.

What about that poor coder with manglement going on about that in app purchase to harvest your watermelons faster?
Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet

How would you expect me, living in Toronto, to purchase avocado or salmon locally?Supercooled wrote: ↑ Avocado were so plentiful at one point these farmers could ink in sell them for .30 cents a kilogram but now they fetch well over $10 according to the documentary. I know you people didn’t watch it and are making knee jerk responses but if it weren’t so in demand people would not be taking up Ames to protect their farm from the gangsters who prey on them.
Nobody is suggesting you boycott these two food items just be mindful of true cost of these things before they arrive at your grocery store. I’d buy local if I was a consumer of these.
Anyway I’m sure the cheap stuff I buy from Walmart isn’t tainted with some Chinese factory workers blood sweat and tears so I’m not exactly blameless.

They're the sole reason (along with toast) that millennials can't afford a house.

Easy, wait for the salmon run and you can just grab one from the rivers, luckily that's in season. With avocados, buy a giant house and grow them yourself.

Yep. Having your family hacked to death by a cartel because you didn't turn over all your avocados is just part of the hard work getting your food to the table. I don't know why all these snowflakes are so up in arms over it.Cough wrote: ↑ What absolute crap for poor snowflakes.
Everything we eat requires hard work and suffering and often risk.
Meat because bulls can gore the ranchers. Tomatoes because pickers destroy their backs bending to plant and reap.
From now on I will only eat food that can be harvested with an app.

And you think pig farmers aren't hacked to death by pig haters (must be careful with any racist stereotypes)??

I never thought avocados tastes good either, I have no clue why anyone eats them. I mean if it’s in front of me I will eat it but it’s not a food I’d go out and buyPete_Coach wrote: ↑ I hate avocado. Those greasy, slimy, no flavour green things Ughhh.
