Avocados
I find comical the nutritional information provided by the California Congregation of Amlgamated Brothers in Avocado Cultivation's website and this other dude who reminds us to "Wait at least 3 hours after eating avocado before eating sweet fruit."
The CCABAvC uses the roll-off-your-tongue unit of one fifth of a medium sized avocado. Um, the serving size is 30 grams, why not say 30 grams!? What kind of metric-hatin shit is that? It weighs 1.1 ounces. Why not say 1 ounce or you can even say it with no numbers at all... an ounce. Notice also how they describe fat as a "nutrient booster." It seems those geniuses over in science have concluded that fat enables the body to absorb fat-soluble nutrients. Doesn't that group anything containing fat as a "nutrient booster?"
Not too days ago I peeling an avocado I could barely lift.
Bob: I think they cross-breed them.
Me: With what? Lumberjacks?
Believe me it's funnier when it's hot outside and you are holding an avocado you could barely lift, try it.
