🚨🥑 Avocado oil has a BIG problem.
UC Davis tested 54 processed foods claiming to use avocado oil. 48 failed authenticity testing.
-93% of chips
-71% of mayo
-100% of salad dressings
Many contained other oils, including seed oils.
Reading the label isn't enough anymore.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month – and it's important to recognize how COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted people with disabilities. A true economic recovery must not leave this important community behind. #NDEAM abcnews.go.com/Business/covi…

At this time, we will be using our platform to amplify voices from the Black and African American community at Microsoft.
ALT “Racial injustice is not acceptable and yet it continues. If you are outraged by what you are seeing now, let’s work together! Too many of us live a hesitant, tentative life – afraid to challenge what we know is wrong. We need to realize the strength and power we have together. It’s time we pay attention to the signs, stop and notice what’s happening around us and speak up. We all have a responsibility to step forward and change the world now and for future generations – nothing will change without the majority. We can do better!” Michael Ford, Microsoft employee of 15 years
