Viva the little guys of the banana world. I would love to see them form cooperatives to level the playing field and bring their goods to market. Much as we lament the big box stores, we are supporting them - the same could be said for banana producers, we are supporting the banana cartels. It's a classic name brand versus generic, survival of the fittest mindset that promotes monopolies.

I am all for biotechnology and using our God-given talents to stay a step ahead of mother nature's desire to return all things to their basic elements. It's homeostasis at work. Most people that object really do so from a lack of understanding and a fear of change - the unknown. Since they do not understand, they opt to oppose. The viscous nature of their resistance can also be characterized as homeostasis - keep things as they are.
