How Much Avocado Goes into Guacamole?

And if you find it's not very much, do you file a class action lawsuit for damages?

This is funny yet sad.  Beyond the ridiculousness of filing a silly lawsuit, read through the ingredient label on the Kraft Dips Guacamole to see for yourself if this food additive thing hasn't gotten out of hand.

Modified food starch, coconut and soybean oils, corn syrup and food coloring......in Guacamole? 

Here's the guacamole recipe at our house:

Fresh avocados, finely diced Vidalia onion, salt and pepper.  If it's summertime and we have ready access to a ripe tomato, then we dice it up and mix it in.

No corn products, no soy products, no added oil.  And believe it or not, it's bright green without any chemical food colorings.

But I sure bet this dip Kraft makes is profitable since it's only 2% real avocado.  Avocados are expensive where I live, so I can see where Kraft would want to make a corn and soybean product flavored and colored to look like avocados.  Their shareholders must be so proud!

I have to stop now before I die laughing or my head pops off my neck in utter disbelief and frustration.

(Hat Tip: Drudge Report for the lawsuit mention.)
