Alan Titchmarsh’s comments about avocados have struck a nerve — because everybody likes annoying vegans
In terms of water use, it takes approximately 320 litres of water to produce just one avocado, compared to 15 of water to grow one apple. I bet Alan, whose observations about avocados coincide with the launch of his new Gardening Club series, eats apples. He is a cornflake and Weetabix fan, and probably eats porridge, so he at least can hold his head high. He’s 75 and in fine nick; when I met him a few years ago, he was disarmingly modest, but it was the modesty of a man who knows he is the pinup, along with Monty Don, of TV horticulture. Source link
