Yes! We have no bananas!
There's a rather interesting story about the likely end of the Cavendish Banana in Popular Science magazine this week, that's doing the rounds of the blogs. It's a sad but inevitable tale of what happens when you put all of your fruit in one basket. Literally.
This is why we need diversity, folks. I keep telling you, but nobody listens. Someone makes a fortune and everyone else copies. Well it doesn't work. Not in nature anyway.
(Maybe in technology, but even then the applause is sweet but all too brief.)

And this isn't even new news - I read the same warning twoo years ago, and no-one was listening then either :-(

Sad but true. However, headline of the year so far on your blog.....
