When I was a fruitarian I ate 3-6 avocados a day for twenty years. I have heard this repeated so much by ex-fruitarians: an addiction to avocados. I think it's a animal protein-substitute because now I have no taste for them at all. Now that I eat fat and fish, I have a frig filled with avo from the past, and never eat them. The dogs are enjoying them for breakfast so they won't waste. It was always such a juggling act--buying boxes of avo to make sure they'd ripen on time so I could HAVE MY FIX without which even worse hunger would ensue. I remember Zvengali relationships developing with fruit vendors around the avo-situation-desperate need. Man I'm glad to be out of all that! Now I'mgetting the REAL THING...ANIMAL FAT AND PROTEIN, and avocados are only a dog food.
