(45,319 posts)106. Avacados grow on much of the cheapest real estate in the Americas. Native to Peubla
Mexico, the US growing areas in CA, AZ and TX are the far Northern end of the range. I can't stand the things. But 'they grow on expensive land' is not very true, nor is it true that they are difficult to grow or that they take much longer than other tree produce. Much shorter than many is the fact of that.

This is true. Everything but pure protein turns to sugar in the system. "Hits" are fiber-less

Actually, protein does convert to glucose, just not as efficiently as carbs do.

Is that true? Someone was telling me that recently, but I didn't believe him.

The reason children are picky is because their PARENTS are the same way!

The logic is clearly a supply and demand issue - and the analogy IS a good one.

I hear ya, but kids don't like avocados, as a rule. And the breakfast was HALF of an avocado...

Only $1.70 and 2.5 grams of partial protein for half an avocado. What a bargain!

You don't have to balance proteins anymore--the body stores amino acids.

Calories count. There's an obesity epidemic, and sugar is addictive. Artificial sugar

It's okay to make that decision for yourself, but healthy children should be eating

That's because their parents don't give them enough fresh fruits and veggies.
