Although I kind of see what you're getting at, I don't think it's a good comparison to compare tofu and avocado to cigarettes. My impression is that fatty whole plant foods can be included in a healthy, lean person's diet in small amounts without incurring any harm. If my impression is mistaken, I'd like to know.
I actually wish there were more specific guidance in this regard. I'm lean and healthy and have never been overweight in my life. No diabetes or heart disease and I'm very fit and active. How much avocado and tofu would Mcdougall consider reasonable for me? I honestly have no idea, and can't seem to find an answer.
I eat about 3 avocados a week (currently, but over the years I've gone months without them), but would love to know if this is in any way potentially detrimental to my health, or if I could even eat one every day without harm, or if I'd truly be better off never eating them at all.
