Their cultivation requires unfeasibly large quantities of water(which is becoming ever scarcer, especially in the regions of the world where avocados can grow). Farms that switch to growing avocados dry up the ground water from the surrounding area, shrinking staple crop yields; forcing down the supply; increasing demand; forcing up the cost of food; increasing poverty. Water scarcity predictably leads to disputes and conflicts, too.
tl;dr: they're an unsustainable cash crop that causes drought, poverty, famine and misery.
Which is a shame, because they are lovely.

Avocados don't choose to be born as avocados,and even if they did, the brainless are blameless.
It is a shame though. Monsanto really should engineer a less thirsty avocado. Maybe chuck some camel genes in there, see what happens. Or shark genes maybe, to make a seawater avocado.

You might want to look some of this stuff up,because none of that is proselytising, false, or wrong. It's all evidence based. If you have an avocado-based faith system I'd love to hear all about it.
