Default Re: Genetically modified bananas

I agree with Frank; it's ridiculous to think that the American consumer would freak out if a different banana were offered. I mean, they already had to adapt once from the 'Gros Michel' to the Cavendish, so what's the difference now? I'd love to be able to go into my local supermarket and have four or five different banana cultivars to choose from. I think finding ones that ship well is another piece of the puzzle. The big banana companies just don't seem to want to take the chance. Too bad for us-and them.
