	This thread also considers the Avocado as a (global) crop. When a farmer in Mexico picks an Avocado off of a tree there is a small likelihood that Avocado will spend its whole life in Mexico. Maybe it will travel to a processing plant in Texas and be shipped back, or maybe it will go on a trip to Toronto and never leave. Contributors were asked to think about travel. Where have you gone?

Where did you go? At a point in time where global travel is mostly impossible, avocados and other fruits and vegetables have managed to not stop their intensive travels. They are taking boats, trucks and planes to their intended destinations and leaving parts of themselves everywhere in the forms of peels, pits and trees.

The next thread considers the Avocado as a (global) crop. One eaten widely by the Mexica and still found or incorporate-able into just about any contemporary Mexican Dish - or alone, 2009 Oscar would eat an Avocado while waiting for the 143 bus on Burnaby Mountain after class, 2009 Oscar was weird. This thread also considers how Avocados have truly gone global in the last two decades: Avocados from Mexico promote them, we’re told we can’t afford houses because of them, we’re told they’re a healthy fat that promotes deforestation and lustrous hair. This thread is about expectations, travel, and diaspora. Who are you? Who are you not?
