My diet is largely Mediterranean-based because that's what I like, so I have been pleased to learn over the decades how healthy it is. I don't drink coffee, but perhaps the most notable thing these days about dark chocolate, avocados, and olive oil is how much their prices have increased the last few years. And there is worse to come -- both the chocolate and olive crops were very poor this year.

One other proviso -- you need to be careful which brand of chocolate you acquire. A number of them have been found to have high levels of cadmium and lead, which seemed to have been acquired through the manufacturing process.

As to avocados, it used to be that an avocado that didn't ripen properly was a shame. At current prices, it's a tragedy... (We sometimes have to pay close to $3 apiece up here these days, even for the non-organic ones.)
