Save the Banana!

banana-tree.jpgWe feed our babies mashed up bananas.

When they’re older, we put bananas in their lunch bags, and we, ourselves, eat bananas– in banana splits, as banana bread, banana smoothies, fried or just plain.

Elvis loved his peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

Who doesn’t love bananas?

Now, a new book by Dan Koeppel called, Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World, says we may not have bananas for much longer. A dreaded fungi is taking over. 

The banana that you see at the grocery store might be gone in 10 years. How could this be? Better yet, what’s being done about it? Who’d ever think that the banana would be on the endangered species list along with whales and frogs?

Save the bananas!
