Again, he never never used the word "comercially" Of course we also know they are not grown on "trees" as he claims!
Here is the direct quote from the interview.
"a banana on a tree is always green, it will not ripen until it comes off the tree. The ripening process begins the moment the banana is removed from the tree"
If he would have prefaced that statement with "on the commercial plantations" that would have been fine.
