How many lives where destroyed over bananas. So much tyranny and corporate capitalizing so us north american pigs could have some banana slices in our cereal. They genetically mess with it and only produce weakers strans all for the look to be pleasing to us pathetic materialistic pigs of north america. All this is created by money hungry corporate pigs. We the people are fed all this propaganda and stupid us fall it and believe that this is what we want, but if the people really knew what was going on and how those bananas got to there kitchen they wouldn't be in the current state there in. The problems stemmed from popular demand back in the forties. the history all the way to the now is nothing short of terrible. How many lives where destroyed over bananas.

And they go together well with my favorite nut, the walnut. I was musing the other day about how fantastic a "banana tasting" would be...though difficult to arrange, with how quickly they spoil and how few breeds reach the US.

They’re versitile and have a subtle flavor that seems to be applicable to many culinareas. The awesomeness of the bananas I know make me mourn the fact that they are a strictly inferior breed to the bananas that used to be.

He felt very clear about the idea, so it was worth a shot. But the next morning, we all compared notes, and there wasn't a significantly higher number of odd dreams. All the same, I've since heard that bananas contain a precursor to seratonin, and can make the consumer "calmer". ;-) Always new banana rumors...
