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.

Cancer and children' leukemia rates have spiked over 200% in some Mexican states since intense Avocado farming operations have begun.

>>13747653
Good. I hope all the little beaner bastards get cancer. Fuck 'em. Think of it as karma for invading our country. I hope all the Mexican cockroach-children die. They should be exterminated.

>>13747701
>They should be exterminated.

less people on earth = better for the environment?

>>13747640
nooooooo not the heckin brown boy

>>13747640
What percentage of Mexico's GDP/exports is avocados? If we all coordinated and didn't buy them for a week, would it cripple their economy? That'd be kinda funny.
>>13747701
mucho edgy lol

>>13747640
>Mexicans destroy the Mexican ecosystem to make money
>this is Americans' fault
So are we finally dropping the pleasantries and admitting that non-Whites aren't moral agents capable of free choice but rather automatons that blindly do whatever actual human beings tell them to do?

>>13747724
>>this is white people's fault

fixed for accuracy

Based. On my way to buy a box of ‘cados right now

>Our Love of Avocado Is Destroying Mexico's Forests

Yeah, that's the problem...

America is destroying a whole lot more than just Mexican forests. On the list of reasons to destroy America, their consumption of foreign avocados ranks pretty damn low.

>>13747640
Avocado?
Don't you mean literally all tropical fruit (more significantly the species that require more water to fruit) that's grown in South America?
El Pulpo :)

this is by far the most serious issue that currently needs urgent attention that is going on in Mexico right now

no other current goings on in Mexico could come close to the pain that this issue is causing the inhabitants of Mexico

>>13747640
Mexico's environment is already destroyed by having so many Mexicans in it.

>>13747640
If we use simple logic, all food consumption cuts down forest because we need human space.

Unfortunately people breed mindlessly and give birth to five kids instantly unironically.

Unless someone here wants to sterilize themselves

>>13747640
It’s not America’s job to save Mexico from the Mexicans.

>>13748037
>Unless someone here wants to sterilize themselves
As if even 5% of the people here were going to have kids in the first place.

>>13748055
I have 3. Doing my part for the rest of you.

Gay assbabies don’t count

>>13748119
this might be difficult to understand for you, but not every man nuts all over another man’s shit before he shits it.

>>13748132
Not him, but I don't get it.

>>13748136
figures you wouldn’t, you fucking non-faggot...

Pretty sure the vegans in america also fucked over ecuador or bolivia by buying tons of quinoa too...
Maybe these countries should nationalize the production of this shit, if capitalism is able to destroy them that easily...

Give me ONE good reason we shouldn't annex mexico

>>13747640
>Our Avocado Obsession is Destroying Mexican Environment
Buy American avocados then.

>>13748156
Do we want MORE beaners in our country?

>>13748156
It'd be a net lose for america... I mean as horrible and shitty as the board is between mexico and america, it looks like fucking utopia compared to the shit that would be happening at a hypothetical "new america" and Columbia border... Or if we JUST too mexico, the new america and guatamala.
It'd be like asking china to take north korea... We dont want a bunch of ignorant, unhealthy, smelly, useless people who'll just leech off the social programs. Most mexicans would be well below the poverty line in america too, so on day 1 the GDP per capita or PPP of america would drop by like 30%...

>>13748142

lol @ thinking 'Merican attention seeking vegans actually give a shit about the environment. It's nothing more than virtue signaling.

>>13747640
But I only eat Australian grown avocados.

>>13747640
Good.
The more people's futures get destroyed in the name of capitalism, the more they will wake up to the true enemy of mankind.

>>13748142
I don't think you understand the concept of "blood diamonds" and why it's irresponsible to buy them.

>>13747707
>less people on earth = better for the environment?
was this a question? you can’t be that retarded can you?

>>13748604

>>13748731
Why are white women so fucking cringe?

I dont eat avocado anymore. It doesn't taste very good, has almost no culinary use aside from mexican cuisine. It's fucking useless.

I don't understand why coastal american white people cant just put a high quality cream cheese on toast and call it a fucking day.

>>13748731
Keking based
got anymore like this?

>>13747640
good.

>>13747640
>Spics come illegally to the U.S.
>ruin the country by using our public services without paying taxes

Unbelievable

It’s like something George Lucas would think up

>>13748604
>Good.

Dude, Jorge, the grape picker, pays more taxes than your orange emperor. Why do you think he refuses to release the returns?

>>13747640
I'm gonna go buy a hundred avcodads justtkkfuckmxiicoo

>>13749537
believing this is why no one cares about what you say or think, because you’re stupid and believe stupid things if they align with what you want to believe is true.

>calories don't grow on trees
everyone will starve to death if these idiots gain power

CHINGUEN A SU MADRE LOS MEXICHANGOS

>>13749548
Cope harder wigger, lol!

>>13749808
Thank god you will never vote...

>>13747640
1. This is their fault not ours
2. Avocado trees still produce oxygen too so who cares, there's tons of pines up in northern america

WTF I love avocados now. I will drive to the grocery store tomorrow and buy all of them

Why are Mexicans so fucking stupid? They’re the most racist people I’ve ever seen, even more than chinamen. Destroying their country for ‘Cados and drugs.

>>13748731
If you openly declare that you want people to be punched/harmed/killed, don't be surprised if people do it to you. Especially if you're an ugly obese disabled person with purple hair who can't defend herself.

>>13749816
I guarantee I've voted more often than you, Cletus. But by all means keep being a wigger, it's delicious!

>>13749885
Oh, I see what’s going on. You’re desperate for human interaction. Find it somewhere else, faggot. I’m done with your 9gag level faggotry.

Unionize and charge for your product accordingly.

>>13747640
forests waste more oxygen than they produce, they should be cut down.

>>13749537
>Muh illegals pay sales tax

>>13750211
>forests waste more oxygen than they produce, they should be cut down.
you could say exactly the same about mexicans in general.

>>13748712
Haha holy shit no one cares about this comparison when there's actual child slave labor being used to make shoes and electronics in China. Too desensitized.
This is Mexico's problem, not ours.

>>13750211
>This is what Americans actually believe

>>13747724
>nooooooooooooo wtf why are you dumb americans not buying mexican fruit
it's a lose lose with liberals

>>13747640
lol faggots

NOOOOOOO NOT THE HISPANARINO
YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO THE BEAN BROS AND THEIR LADDER MAKING PLANTS!

what about vertical farming

can't we subsidize that

it's a little more expensive but maybe we don't have to shit on all the ecosystems and poor people to enjoy things

>>13750594
It's not a "little more expensive" it's upwards of 800 times more expensive per meter of arable land just in startup costs. Then you've got to factor climate control, plumbing, and lighting costs; estimates put that vertical farming using nothing but solar energy for power would need a 20:1 ratio of solar panel coverage to arable land. Vertical farms are not quite meme-tier, but they're close.

>>13747724
YEP

>Avocado consumption.

Just one more hypocritical earth-destroying tactic of the vegans. (And the "plant based")

Time for those bigoted Mexican restaurants in USA to stop using avocado on 80% of their menu

>>13751638
Veganism is only unsustainable because of overpopulation. If there weren't 7-8 billion people, there wouldn't be any issue like this. So, stop having children

>>13751692
The people who work hard all day clearing forests, harvesting crops, and transporting them to market... I wonder if they are vegan.

Saw the documentary "Rotten" where they showed the state around growing avocados. They repeatedly showed how picky the avocados are when they grow, most favorably on the sides of a hill. Would it really be profitable to plow down gigantic forested areas of random quality to grow subpar avocados? (Which also need several years before they even mature to produce fruit).

>>13751692
>It takes a ton of more land, water and other resources to produce meat compared to greens
>"Veganism unsustainable"
You don't even believe it yourself.

>>13752645
Wtf sounds fake bro quit spreading disinfo

>dude, us'n whites have been in control the entire time, but now that the shit hits the fan, it's the brown folks fault
You stormers are so cute, pucker up little bois!

>>13747640
Based.

Thanks for reminding me to buy more avocados. 1 avocado = 1 dead Mexican!

>>13754264
Current Year is quite possibly the only time in modern history where browns have had any real, measurable level of agency and everything is falling apart. If white people have done anything wrong it's treating them as equals (which would never happen were the roles to be reversed).

wtf I love avocado toast now

>>13747640
My Mexican family keeps buying avocados and they're not vegan uhuhuhuuhu

Also I'm actually Mexican and not a white man with a fetish for foreign people.

>>13747653
luckily theyre just mexicans and not the master race (blacks)

>>13754264

>it's the US with only 340 million faggots
Tbf, US is only @ 60% white, but still.

>>13747640
Oh no, a couple trees got chopped ... the humanity.

Europe after all became an uninhabitable hell-scape after pretty much all of its forests were chopped.

>>13754264
>world is turned into an environmental catastrophe
Should we just let populations be controlled by mass starvation, infanticide and continuous tribal warfare again instead?

>>13757413
Uh oh, looks like someone slept through history class.

>>13757435
Whites simply increased the level of destruction in their tribal warfare just like they've increased the level of destruction inflicted on the planet.

>>13757548
Post timestamped hand, palm facing up.

>>13747640
So they're not just yummy but you fuck up beaners every time you eat them? This is awesome.

>>13747640
>Mexicans clear their own landscape to farm
>This is Americans' fault somehow
Yeah sure, and it's Americans' fault that Indians shit on their own streets because they worship the toilet as a minor deity.

>>13747640
Are we sure it's not just Mexicans careless farming techniques destroying their own land?

If we lived in a world of nations I would suggest the Mexican government enforce laws restricting the amount of clearcutting and avocado farms allowed to avert this environmental disaster. But because we're a planet of corporations, nobody can do anything and the environment is fucked.

>>13747640
But my avocados are from California...

>>13747640
>replacing pine forests with avocado forests
nothing-burger

>>13757576
Not falling for your fingerprint phishing scam, but thx anyway!

>>13747859
What happend to cause that dip at the turn of the last century?

>>13752676
Most land is marginal or desert of forest. You can havest meats from the biomes without destroying them. Its much more challenging to convert these to usable farm land. A strickly vegan population will do more environmental damage then an omnivore population.
