Ok, this really bothers me. If this spray is used, bananas would no longer be suitable for vegetarians and vegans, not to mention people with shellfish allergies. Pretty disgusting. I would never knowingly buy fruit tainted this way. Please, just leave fruit and vegatables alone already! Our food is tainted enough.

2 or 3 days? They look fine and not too yellow at the store and by the time I’m washing them (I wash everything) they are already looking bruised. What’s up with that?

Our food is tainted enough.

Yeah, because food in the 1850s was so much safer and better, if you don't count the ergot fungus outbreaks, milk fever, bad meat, and high number of food poisoning deaths, and little stuff like that.

Food fetishists are a half bubble out of plumb.

If customers want a product, the market will provide it.

Don't interfere.

New product can keep fruit fresh for two weeks

What about pointed sticks?

[Clint N. Suhks]

Does it work on anything else?

:-O

"Other might disagree"

They might but then they'd be wrong.

You eat the banana skins?

Once the banana breaks from hard green it is just a matter of time. The yellower they get, the faster they respirate, the more ethylene gas they release. The more ethylene gas the faster they go. Its a viscous cycle till the end !! Gentle handling and washing will buy you a day or two. The green veggie fresh bags will buy you a few more.

The banana industry will not allow this to happen. Their sales would be cut by half if all the bananas that were sold were actually eaten.

Thankfully I'm not a vegetarian... I've eaten at least 40 gnats this week and one larger bug that flew up my nose while I was pruning trees. Then there's the red velvet cupcake at work, that was probably cochineal food coloring.

It is believed that the spray could help save some of the 1.6million bananas thrown away in Britain every day.

I see the British haven't discovered Banana Bread.

SAVE THE BANANAS

[I see my hands]

Maybe the spray can be tweaked to preserve lentils and tofu.

HAHAHHA! I kill me!

[bgill]

When life gives you brown bananas, make banana bread.

Due to your post I was thinking about vegan-ism tonight. I was also thinking about killer bees. Then I wondered if vegans ate honey.

Turns out that is somewhat of a controversial issue. An interesting and fair examination is found here.

The article helped me understand why you are covetous of the dwindling food stuffs available to you.
