What Happens If I Wear A Tight Retainer

Bananas could disappear

Originally published in the Journal de Montreal January 22, 2011.

Banana is one of the oldest known plants, but it is believed that the fruit was not consumed by our ancestors' hunter-gatherers, because there was so little plump and contained numerous inedible seeds. Traces of the first banana production for human consumption have been found in Malaysia and New Guinea, and date back about 7000 years.

The commercial-scale banana did not begin until the 19th century, when steamships faster and better controlled methods of preserving them opened the major markets of Europe and the North America. The work of selection was then used to create the son of the years several varieties, including the famous Cavendish, which alone ensures the quasi-totality of sweet bananas for export. It is what we commonly find in commerce. Unfortunately, it is now a victim in some countries Asian fungus that destroys the roots.
That said, the sweet bananas do not disappear from the face of the earth, as other varieties continue to be developed, but more fragile to transport and handling, a little more expensive. These new banana, that promote biodiversity, are already in our supermarkets, but still represent a small percentage of the total. They are just as good in taste and rich in antioxidants and minerals that bananas from the industrial culture, and come mostly from small producers Fair Trade Certified. I invite him to try to encourage biodiversity, equitable production and survival of the species.
