I probably shouldn't be happy about this
Apparently, bananas are not long for this world.
Bananas are one of those foods i simply cannot stand -- they provoke the gag-reflex in me. i blame it on an elementary school lunch, where i had left my metal lunchbox near the heat all morning, causing the whole lunch to acquire a thoroughly banana smell. i went ahead and ate it (skip lunch? unheard of!), and of course felt pretty darn ill afterwards. and thus a strong aversion was born. at least that's what i *believe*; who knows if the truth is anything like that.
now, i can't claim to be happy that we've got a vivid example of "what can go wrong with messing with nature". but a world where i don't have people pushing banana bread on me all the time because "everyone loooooves banana bread"? now that would be akin to heaven.
