Looks like it is still going to take us a long time to learn that desirable genetic traits for human consumption are not the same as desirable genetic traits for the food source. In fact, they can conflict with each other.

"Although there are thousands of banana cultivars globally, production is dominated by just a few, such as the widely grown ‘Cavendish’, making the entire crop susceptible to pests and environmental changes."
Ala the, 'Irish Potato Famine.' Great! First it was the Irish nere'-do-wells* coming to our shores and now we're going to be overrun with starving Monkeys!
*Relax, Francis. Just kidding. I've got some 'Irish' in me - Bailey's! LOL!

I have several banana trees in the back yard but they never make any because it takes 18 months and the frost kills them back to the ground every winter...................
