Real Food Doesn't Need a Label


I think that this graphic just about says it all.

It was made by Pepper Culpepper of http://talesfromthedarkroastside.wordpress.com
(She was very kind and made it for me one day!)

But if this heritage avocado DID have a label - here are some of the wonderful things it might say:

KIND OF AVOCADO:  A rare "Matthew Davis" (click on link for more info about how the Avocado Diva and fans are saving these rare trees!).

SIZE OF AVOCADO: 1 lb

ORIGIN: Ventura, California

NUTRITION: (from the California Avocado Commission)


Ever MORE amazing is how low in fat an avocado serving can be when compared to things like butter, sour cream mayonnaise or cheese!

Check out these stats - and then substitute a couple slices of avocado INSTEAD of butter or cheese  and save HUNDREDS of calories!
