Personally I'm of mind to think that a different banana is brought in, like the Cavendish did with the Gros Michel, and that is it. People still bought it.

I've stopped buying the commercial Dole/Chiquita bananas. The carbon footprint has disgusted me - plus the blandness of the bananas. Just like California tomatoes in January...

Growing my own tomatoes and eating them in season.

Growing my own bananas and will eat them if/when they fruit.

I know my not buying them has no impact on the market and industry. It sure seems like it anyway.

How much more destruction can be justified for 49 cents a pound bananas? That's just stupid.
