AVOCADO:

What is the difference between a regular avocado and your Brooks Lite avocado?

The Brooks Lite avocado contains 50 percent less fat and 35 percent fewer calories than the dark green Hass avocado which comes from California. Based on prior studies, our avocado, when tested, has 105 calories while the Hass avocado, when tested, has a 165 calories. The reason for such a large discrepancy is due to the oil content in a specific variety. So enjoy! Eat plenty of avocados and don't feel guilty.

Now, don't you want some?

LOL

If BrookS will sell them for less than $1.99 here in Durham, I'll buy some.

Actually, it's a dirty little secret - avocado calories aren't a concern. They're a good source of essential fatty acids, so I would never deign to mess with them genetically. (Barefoot, you found my evil twin.)
