Just like everything else printed in the Daily Mail, this story appears to be a massive pile of bollocks: all that has happened is two restaurants have decided not to serve avocado for much the same reason many restaurants stopped serving whale meat - environmental cost. The Mail, typically, has spun something more dramatic out of it. They have a habit of producing stories such this, which get "decent, right-thinking, honest British folk" all riled up and stops them paying attention to proper news, whenever something the Mail doesn't like is happening - for example, Theresa May getting hammered in the Commons, as has been happening this week.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry after reading that item. The yuppies like Kirsty Allsop are whining, that in itself is funny....but when we find out that the name Avocado comes from a Nahuati Aztec Indian word “ahuacati” which means testicle....we’ll all I can say is this sounds like another “load of bollocks” from the Daily Mail, one of the worst sort of right-wing rags, but nevertheless is treated like the gospel by the undereducated British masses.
