I mean, in that it is a fatty fruit we are using in in place of meat meaning that it is still an efficient use of farmland compared to cattle. I am from the southwest. We have a history of using avocados separate to the advertising wave
If you use it as a replacement, all is well. It is a big if though:
In the Netherlands advocado is actually placed in the NOT a meat replacement categorie because of its lack in nutritional values. The winner is Tofu and Tempah for meat replacement and the 'vegatarische hamburger'. Here its just a 'super food' compared to other fruits. And people eat it like that.

Cattle is always ineffective compared to most other foods (next to other issues) and we should try to replace meat with replacement products. However we should aim for an efficient replacement that can be produced locally in each country specific. For you that can be advocado, in the Netherlands that is probably going to be soja.
I just wished the industry finally made something as tasty as meat..
I am confused how you are eating avocado over there where it isn't "meat" portion of a meal. Like, avocado toast here is a popular item. In that place the avocado is used where you would use a portion of meat or cheese. The other use is a condiment where it would be taking the place of a meat or dairy option.
At least here in America we have that tech pretty much perfected. Most fast food has a portion of the meat replaced with textured vegetable protein and no one knows or cares. For nearly any meat portion of a dish the tech is there to use a cheaper plant alternative. Steak is a hard one. However any kind of fried or breaded meat can be perfectly replaces.
I watch this one guy on YouTube sauce stash. His main gimmick is finding cool ways to cook vegetables so they come out like meat. His results are impressive really without much complicated work.
