Bye, bye, bananas
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ld-go-extinct/
Bye, bye, bananas By Roberto A. Ferdman December 4 at 9:06 AM In the mid 1900s, the most popular banana in the world€”a sweet, creamy variety called Gros Michel grown in Latin America€”all but disappeared from the planet. At the time, it was the only banana in the world that could be exported. But a fungus, known as Panama Disease, which first appeared in Australia in the late 1800s, changed that after jumping continents. The disease debilitated the plants that bore the fruit. The damage was so great and swift that in a matter of only a few decades the Gros Michel nearly went extinct. Now, half a century later, a new strain of the disease is threatening the existence of the Cavendish, the banana that replaced the Gros Michel as the world's top banana export, representing 99 percent of the market, along with a number of banana varieties produced and eaten locally around the world. And there is no known way to stop it€”or even contain it. That's the troubling conclusion of a new study published in PLOS Pathogens, which confirmed something many agricultural scientists have feared to be true: that dying banana plants in various parts of the world are suffering from the same exact thing: Tropical Race 4, a more potent mutation of the much feared Panama Disease. Specifically, the researchers warn that the strain, which first began wreaking havoc in Southeast Asia some 50 years ago and has more recently spread to other parts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia, will eventually make its way to Latin America, where the vast majority of the world's banana exports are still grown. At this point, they say, it's not a question of whether Tropical Race 4 will infiltrate the mothership of global banana production; it's a matter of when. The reason the original disease and its latest permutation are so threatening to bananas is largely a result of the way in which we have cultivated the fruit. While dozens of different varieties are grown around the world, often in close proximity to one another, commercially produced bananas are all the same (quite literally in fact, because they are effectively clones of each other). This helps companies like Dole and Chiquita control for consistency and produce massive amounts of bananas on the cheap without having to deal with imperfections (it's the reason why the fruit is so easy to find at supermarkets everywhere). But it also makes their bananas incredibly vulnerable to attacks from pests and disease. When you get rid of variety entirely, you risk exposing a crop to something it can neither cope with nor evolve to defend itself against. The Irish Potato Blight is a perfect example of how monocultures can backfire. In the 1800s, Irish potato farmers came to favor a single potato variety, which backfired when a fungus-like organism entered the country and met no natural resistance. In 1846, the country, which depended heavily on potatoes for basic nutrition, lost most of its potato production, which, in turn, contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. The virtual extinction of the Gros Michel is an apt example, too. When the first strain of the Panama Disease appeared in Latin America, there was nothing to stop it. This is how Gwynn Guilford, who chronicled the hopeless sequence in a piece last year, put it: As whole plantations failed, United Fruit and others made the obvious choice: they picked up and moved somewhere else in Latin America. But the blight followed. After it wiped out plantations in Costa Rica, Panama disease followed United Fruit to Guatemala. And then to Nicaragua, then Colombia and then Ecuador. By 1960, 77 years after it had appeared, Panama disease had wiped the Gros Michel out of every export plantation on the face of the planet. The effect was felt all around the world. Certainly in the United States, where it inspired a song called "Yes, We Have No Bananas." The latest strain is likely to put the risks of monoculture on display once more. And while scientists might find or breed a better one in the mean time, the reality is that this time around we don't have a formidable replacement that's resistant to the new strain of Panama Disease. Once it reaches Latin America, as it is expected to, it could be only a matter of decades before the most popular banana on the planet once again disappears. The great irony is that the Cavendish, the banana currently sold at just about every supermarket in the developed world, rose to prominence almost exclusively because unlike its predecessor, it was resistant to the original strain of Panama Disease. The Cavendish is less desirable, more susceptible to other diseases, has a tendency to bruise, doesn't ripen easily or last very long before spoiling, and is "lamentably bland," as Mike Peed wrote in a 2011 piece for the New Yorker. Now that it looks like the Cavendish could suffer the same fate as the last commercially produced banana (eventually, but not tomorrow, so there's no need to go hoarding bananas) it's becoming a little clearer that it probably wasn't the type of banana but rather the type of production that needed changing. |

He nailed it, the banana is indeed lamentably bland. Why is it so popular? Because its easy to peel, even a child can do it. Instead of spending bazillions of dollars finding a fix for the banana blight, I would like to see the money spent on developing a peelable papaya! Then you will have a fruit worthy of the Calories. |

The papayas over here are totally awesome! The ringspot virus almost destroyed the papaya industry in Hawaii. Incorporating part of the genetic code of the ringspot into the papaya DNA made it resistant to ringspot virus. The good news is that the papaya industry was saved and these GMO papayas are damn tasty. The bad news is that they may be affected by the new strains of ringspot. While not peelable, papayas have the advantage of being the one fruit that the elderly find palpable. Well, the old folks over here like to eat them anyway. |

Inquiring taste buds want to know. The banana of choice in Hawaii are apple bananas. A lot of people will grow them in their yards. I don't think very many people grow Cavendish bananas at home. |

So now that I've read about bananas, I just noticed on a TV commercial that a woman was picking up baby bananas and handed them to her child sitting in the cart seat. I don't think I would have noticed that before. One of my rare treats with bananas is a mudslide frozen drink with a banana added to the blender with ice. Yum. Learned that from one of my niece's last summer on our beach vacation. -- ღ.¸¸.œ«*¨`*œ¶ Cheryl |

The bananas we Americans like to eat is the only banana on the planet and when it goes, we're all doomed to drink real milkshakes intstead of overpriced smoothies!! 8| As if. There are over 400 species of banana/plantain and the reason the Cavendish is so popular and widespread is cuz the growers/shippers can make the most $$$$ from it. That's it. End of bogus reasons for the alleged disappearance of our beloved banana. IOW, someone will find a profitable substitute. That, or some nefarious corporation will GMO it, then organic eaters will have to find a decent substitute. Me? I'm going to the market and buy some more Cavendish 'nanners and make another coconut/'nanner pie. ;) nb |

When I lived on Lung Guyland the hood was becoming Hispanic so I tried several kinds of bananas, but to be honest I really didn't like the weirdo bananas, the textures and flavors were very foriegn to me. I did like plantains but not the different 'dessert' type bananas. A lot of the produce was very weird to me, all those huge hairy root type thingies, I had no idea what to do with them. I'd ask the female shoppers (Hispanic men don't shop) how to cook those roots but they seemed uncomfortable with my asking, probably because most Hispanic women have large breasts and I couldn't resist ogling... well what did they expect, most didn't wear bras amd their huge nursing nipples were poking through their tee shirts... maybe in Hondurus it's no biggie, but I found it very distracting, especially when they'd nurse their four year old in public, can you blame me for being envious? I still remember being in line in the post office and here's this latina woman with two kids, right in front of me her four year old son and three year old daughter kept diving under her tee shirt and latching on to her huge breasts... she couldn't be more than twenty years old, she was very cute, couldn't be more than 5' and 110 lbs and had humongous boobs... I left before buying stamps lest I get arrested for sexual assault... I was 35 years old then and it was all I could do to control myself... I coulda split that little thing like a ripe melon. |

There are many other types, usually about a third of the size. All that I have tasted have a much better flavor. They are difficult to find and a more expensive (but not to much so) and have a less firm texture. One reason they may not be too popular is that they do not peal as easily. The best way is to peal them from the bottom, not the top. http://www.richardfisher.com |

They are difficult to find and a more expensive (but not to much so) and have a less firm texture. Where are you all seeing different "species" of banana? I've never seen this in any grocery store. The shelf space just says "bananas" and...DOH..like I can't recognize one. The tiny label on one banana in the bunch just says, "Dole" or "Chiquita" Of course, they have plantains (labeled that way) and occasionally (but rarely) I'll see some tiny bananas. I did buy a plantain once. I knew it was supposed to be cooked so I sliced it and fried in butter. It was nasty. oh well. |

Species seems like a strange word to use when describing an organism the propagates by cloning. Isn't a species where the offspring of two creatures can mate and produce viable offspring? AIUI a donkey and a horse can mate and produce a mule. The mule can not reproduce. No, I don't blame you for introducing the word into the discussion. |

You present yourself as a person who has plenty of money, and there are women who, for a rather large fee, will breast feed adult men (and the occasional adult woman). As long as it's consensual, there's absolutely nothing unethical about doing that, and as long as there is no accompanying prostitution, it isn't illegal. Go for it, Sheldon. --Bryan |

Later on, you both could shoot up in the toilet. :) Implying that a guy who would enjoy drinking milk from the breasts of a woman whose body he finds attractive suggests that he has an adult baby fetish is just wrong. Also, from what I've gathered, most women who provide the service do not engage in sex with their clients. Guys will pay great money, far more than for conventional sexual services. --Bryan |
