🥑 Cinco de Mayo Vibes + Guac with a Conscience 🇲🇽

I eat an avocado every day (it's basically self care 😜). But if you’re gettin’ your guac on today, here’s some green truth to chew on:

👉 The demand for avocados is so high that some farmers in Mexico are illegally clearing forests to grow them.

👉 Cartels have even moved in, taking cuts of profits and threatening farmers who don’t comply 😬

👉 That's why they're often referred to as “blood avocados” 🩸

💡Want your avo-toast with a side of ethics? Look for Fair Trade Certified or Equal Exchange labels to support eco-friendly, cartel-free farming - or better yet, buy domestic when you can! 🇺🇸🥑

💚 And don’t forget—those healthy fats are still heart heroes! Eat up, but eat smart 🌎🥑✨
