Why in the heck do avocados cost so much money? Why can't we enjoy that extra smooth greeny goodness in peace? Why must we pay for some extra happiness? It’s quite absurd to have to pay an extra 50 cents or something around that line just for some guacamole on my burrito or whatever dish I decided to order (@Chipotle).
Turns out there’s a good reason for the inflation of avocado prices. Mexico grows avocados year-round: One season usually ends in June, and another starts up in July. But this year, the June harvest was abnormally low. What’s more, a heat wave ruined much of California’s avocado crop just before the Fourth of July. The California crop has also been threatened by drought for the past few years.
But honestly why does it have to
