...And its the end of bananas, as we know it...

Could we soon lose the most eaten fruit on the planet?

Wow!!! I got short shipped a case today!

All I can attest to is that the price went from $.49 a lb to $.69 a lb. in a weeks time. And thats not a lot but it made me wonder weather it was petrol or otherwise. I think this might have the possibility of otherwise.

Prost!

Thanks Blake for posting this. I'd wondered why bananas had changed so much since my childhood.

Looks like that columist borrowed heavily from Dan Koepel's book.

Also, don't forget that the corporate headquarters of Chiquita is right up the road in Cincinnati.

Note, though, that Koepel and his book receive fair credit in the sixth paragraph of the story.

yep, and that's why it's kosher. I heard Koepel interviewed by Terry Gross on NPR. I had no idea that bananas could be such an interesting and complex topic.

We have no bananas today!

Sorry that song is on a jazz for kids cd I bought my daughters for Christmas and have listened to every morning on the trip to school since.... Its a great song, but pretty much anything on that CD causes my right eye to twitch these days
