[fruit] Banana Peal — Bananas may not be extinct in 10 years according to Snopes.com … ‘Bananas aren’t about to be swept from the face of the earth by a deadly pestilence poised to wipe them out. There are about 300 varieties of the fruit, and the current fear applies to only one of them, the Cavendish. Granted, the Cavendish is our banana of choice, but it isn’t the only banana out there.’ [thanks Steve]

Scientists based in France have warned that, without radical and swift action, in 10 years’ time we really could have no bananas.’
