Why I am a Vegan

[Plenum]

Fat is the one macronutrient that is relatively low in my vegan diet overall, and I noticed it is also low in Plenum's daily meal without eggs.  Apparently adding that fat to breakfast is what my body needs to function optimally.

I didn't used to like avocados, but now regard them as one of my most important and valuable food sources.  I feel wonderful adding these little gems to my daily breakfast.  They are also good emergency food for unexpected travel.

HI Pab,

thank you for your wonderful post.

I hadn't honestly considered avocadoes.  But I could see how they could be an analogue for eggs in terms of the fat content.  I just have a few questions about practical usage:

1) are avocadoes available all year round, at a reasonable price where you live?

2) question about storage and ripening.  How often do you have to buy them, and do you just keep them on the kitchen counter as they ripen?  and then do you put them in the fridge as soon as they are ripe?  how often do they keep in the fridge for?

3) do you eat them just raw?  or can you work them into meals through cooking/combining?

Those probably sound like totally clueless questions  And they totally are.  Avocadoes are available in Sydney, but I've only eaten them maybe a few times in my life, when I was first experimenting with vegetarianism when I was 18 years old (that's two decades ago now!).  That's the only time I've ever eaten them.
