An excellent point. Whenever I think about bananas this way, I'm reminded about how we're privileged to even have them available in our market (Canada vs. the source). And so cheap? Like other things, we take this for granted. The 100-Mile Diet has been garnering a lot of attention here lately. The way oil's headed, and in addition to this blight, the price of bananas are likely set to skyrocket.
