The monopoly that supplies most bananas to the “western” world has long been known to be a murderous corrupt corp? That’s the one major drawback to that chewy sweet banana fiber.
History of banana and why it’s cheap.
Don’t they cost, like, 10 dollars a piece?
One bad thing: it’s all just clones so now it’s extremely vulnerable to one kind of fungus, much like the gros michel banana it faces near extinction
Not here around the world, maybe in your banana republic.
We have atleast 10 varities in our country.
Depending on where you live, there’s quite a few varieties available on the market
What do you mean zero cleanup? Now I have to carry around a banana peel all day. All hail apples (yes, I eat the core).
They tend to go extinct every so often and need a different variety to replace them.
Look up the history of the banana trade.
Bad thing: banana Republic. Other than that… 100% legit.
I have some bad news about bananas. The current strain we use as food is going extinct as the banana trees are ill and dying out. Luckily we’re already changing a different strain to be ready for consumption (making them bigger and without seeds because yes, wild bananas are full of seeds).
Also cocoa plants are ill and dying and we don’t have a different strain. So some time in the future we will be without chocolate.
Banana smell is so powerful if you leave a banana in the fridge over night any unprotected food will taste like a banana
Easy. The taste and the texture. Awful.
The banana republics? The monoculture? The fact the ones in supermarket taste bland and it costs and arm and leg if you want one that tastes good?
Take your pick
Don’t forget the pesticides that are so fucked up that the farmers end up infertile
I can’t buy non organic bananas, I feel like I am castrating someone. But realistically probably organic also isn’t that much better.
Every corporation is practically lying because the only real truth is so riddickulously complicated that even doing research does not ever give a thorough understand of their true action, let alone their actual intent.
Corporations are the blood vein of the vampiritic nature of capitalism.
Mani Mani is the blood itself.
Fun fact: The banana was actually a significant part of the industrial revolution. This was because coal miners could eat it without needing to wash their hands.
It’s radioaktiv
