Since Louisiana and now east of us along the Gulf Coast is getting scrude, I'm wondering if, well, I guess it doesn't matter what I do. If we get oil, it's not going to go away. It might be a good experiment. But I doubt I'd ever be able to eat my own grown bananas again.

The reeds and various marsh plants are dying. Along with all the animals (if anyone wants a link to some pictures of this I have it) and then jobs and so on.
I don't think you will have to worry about eating your own bananas. A lot of people will mix spent motor oil with herbicide to kill hard-to-kill weeds and brush and plants eventually come back.
