I'm from a banana producing country so I know all the scary shizz that goes into the bananas, despite what the documentary says. Also banana plantation workers aren't the most fairly treated workers in the world, regardless of what the companies say. Also, the Cavendish banana, which is what is typically grown for export, has a far inferior taste compared to other local banana varieties.

[@rext8949]

That's a fact, but far more pertinent is that Cavendish travels well.

[@sarahmeyers1773]

I like the tiny bananas.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

Fair treatment and Unions go hand in hand. Hence the reason big corporations are constantly bashing unions.

[@AlexTamayo.]

@@Parents_of_Twins that's not true. People can get good treatment without unions. Unions are actually counter productive to most people and they usually end up becoming cartels in favour of their members and curtail competition. Unions do not do what they claim to do.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

@@AlexTamayo. How many Unions have you worked for because you sound like you are simply spouting Anti Union BS and have absolutely no experience in dealing with an actual union. I do have union experience as does several members of my family and you are spouting anti union BS.

[@alextrevelian]

"The next stage is to separate the platinum from the other metals, and that's done with this powder". I'm gonna assume it is cocaine, that is what justifies the price of platinum.

[@SPFLDAngler]

The rarity justifies the price. How much of the metal exists in nature and how much can be processed, also what it can be used for. Platinum is so expensive because there is a very small amount that exists in nature to be excavated, and it can be used for so many things that makes it a low supply high demand product, resulting in crazy high prices.

The United Fruit Company, still owner of the Chiquita Banana brand, has been/is one of the US's most exploitative companies in the world/ever. Ask any CostaRican worker, as I have. It is their lobbyists in the US, UK and EU who forced the rules about banana shapes and sizes. And their advertising that created our need for 'perfect' fruit. Anyone like fried banana or banana fritter? Do not use the green ones! Of course there is also 'plátano frito' (fried plantain, a smaller, fatter kind of banana cousin).Use these as green as possible, like the do for so-called 'banana chips'

[@wakcedout]

[@jeanmeslier9491]

When I was a mere lad, bananas were shipped and sold off the stalk. In the early 1950s polio was epidemic and no one knew what caused it. Several children had eaten bananas just before they got polio. It was thought that an insect or spider was hidden in the bananas and had bitten the children. Here in the US there was some time that we couldn't get bananas until the fruit companies could break the bananas down and wash them to remove any insect or spider.

Almost all commercial bananas are Cavendish bananas. They are not the most popular because they are the best but because they transport easily and are resistant to the disease that took out the previous banana cultivar. Another disease is now threatening the Cavendish. The Cavendish is the fruit version of living in Ohio. You will absolutely love living in Ohio provided you never go anywhere else. Once you travel elsewhere you begin to understand what Ohio is lacking and somehow it never again is enough.
