Well put up a damn greenhouse then and have it colonize other greenhouses.
Does this mean we can look forward to a future with no Banana Republics?
Urban legend. http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/bananas.asp
It could very well be there is a crisis. Or maybe not. I wonder if the mothers of those in the scientific community ever read to them as childre "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and Chicken Little.
As soon as we alter the gene pool some FOOL ELF terrorist will firebomb the university or private lab and try to destroy the work.
I think I'll go have a piece of the wife's chocolate chip/banana bread.
Will this wipe out the banana republics?
I thought the article was about curing my slice...
I was ready to go out and buy another driver!
Someone wants more money
No more banana cream pie! No more banana pudding! No more banana bread! No more banana splits! Life just isn't worth living without bananas.
I live in a small town in upstate NY. Our local grocery store commonly sells 4 different kinds of bananas. If I go to the city and look in specialty store I can find a few more types. If my little one store town has 4 kinds I wonder how valid this story truly is.
I would rather put my money on United Fruit than the UN.
I only recently found out the bananas I had as a youth (the Gros Michel) went off the market to be replaced by the one we had now.
I had just chalked it up to childhood nostalgia (that bananas tasted better back then). The ones now seem firmer and less sweet. Guess we're in for another round.
Actually, I met someone where bananas grow and she showed me the proper way to eat a banana.
You don't peel it back from the stem, you peel it back from the other end asnd then you have the stem to hold on to.
My banana story.
This is very scary.
I cannot even fathom a future with no bananas.
