Goodbye bananas!

[Q]

The banana is about to disappear from store shelves around the globe. Experts say the world's favourite fruit will pass into oblivion within a decade. No more fresh bananas. No more banana bread. No more banana muffins or banana cream pie.

Why? Because the banana is the victim of centuries of genetic tampering. Scientists say they will be unable to prevent the extirpation of the banana as an edible commercial crop. And its demise may be one more powerful argument in the hands of those who are concerned about genetic modification of foods.

Yes,  We Have No Banana's !!!  Well, they've been tasteless for ages...same as tomatoes...but...have a few banana tree thingies in me garden...(illegal apparently...I never did nuffin...They are just...THERE!)...and mostly the possums get them...Did attempt once to climb up and get a good 'hand'...but, didn't store it properly...it went to - what one might call - molasses.  (Any advice would be appreciated.)   :'(
