Hello :)

It is my first edit request.

Please change "the China" to "China". There is an accidental "the".

Thanks,

Sentence doesn't belong

This seems very weird. It breaks up the flow of the article and it just seems like an advertisement for this random product.

"A line of US-produced dog and cat food, AvoDerm, uses oils and meal made from avocado meat as main ingredients." 173.24.77.12 (talk) 18:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree.

The idea with the ground sloths is just oft-recited speculation

... according to SciShow who posted a correction video on their earlier content about this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpcBgYYFS8o). They say there was never any actual data that backed up that claim but it was a speculation in an old scientific paper and got copied on and on... Maybe worth a look? 37.82.7.116 (talk) 37.82.7.116 (talk) 19:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
