      I would argue that this is not the consumer's doing. Look how no one batted an eye when the Gros Michel was replaced by Cavendish.These companies spent a lot of money convincing the consumer that they need a perfect fruit and vegetable. This in-turn allows them convert their farms into mono-cultures that reduces costs and increases their profits.

      Thats not what he meant though, Americans tend to buy aesthetically pleasing bananas - aka no black marks on them and perfectly shaped. If you were to introduce the type that get marks on them but are still good on the inside, they wont sell, because they buy with their eyes. They know this because americas don't even buy the normal Cavendish bananas if they're not perfectly shaped and yellow coloured.

      I found out when I traveled to Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia around 10 years ago. It was most incredible to see and experience some of the other side. The food, art, music, and culture are amazing in lots of countries far from America and Europe. Despite the good old fashion quality, most of it is very cheap and affordable for this a very classical old world sort of thing based on small business economies centering around families, values, and traditions. Can we say cheap and mostly honest? Absolutely despite that not being the case in the US at all.

      I've noticed that two other varieties are showing up in US super markets the past several years. Red bananas and tiny finger bananas, but they're pricey and not nearly as good as the much cheaper organic Cavendish bananas from Ecuador. We have the most varieties of food we've ever had, but still not like you get in a tropical or even subtropical area such as southern California. Our farmers markets don't go year round and are over priced the 3 or 4 months they are operating. Wouldn't you love more selection, better prices, and things like round vine ripened tomatoes and fresh everything else market year round? Lots of Western country people like Americans and Australians live in such places, but they're either financial independent or they're on sojourn doing a gap year or perhaps teaching English as a second language to kids in countries like Mexico and Thailand for there aren't the wide variety of usual jobs on offer to foreigners.

    Growing-up in Canada I never liked banana until I moved to Thailand and picked several different varieties of banana ripening on the tree. The taste is incredible. Sadly, the bananas from "banana-land" are all picked and shipped before the natural sugars form,making them taste bland and chalky. The same goes for many other fruits. The use of gas, a mixture of ethylene/nitrogen, to make the banana ripe doesn't help the flavor, only the look.

      The point is, you who live faraway from Banana-land are stuck with an inferior product and forced to pay a premium price.
      There are lots of food stuffs that have been adulterated in order to meet market demands. Rice for example, is 'polished' for longer shelf life. In the process of polishing most of the vital nutrients are lost. Brown rice is better. Although fruit picked before the natural sugars can form is not a man-made processing deal,but it does essentially render it 'adulterated' from its natural process.

      Living in Florida I can say that the cavendish store variety is the blandest tasting I have tried (and also they pick them green rather than ripening on the vine which takes away flavor). They just use that variety because of large size and large crops. It's all about $$ getting more pounds per acre. Recently stores started selling some more expensive different types of bananas which I like better. Anyway its not hard to cross breed bananas. They just take pollen from the seedless one and cross it with a seed banana. Just not much effort has gone into breeding new commercial bananas.

I decided I was going to look into this to see for myself. My dad only said bananas are bad for you because he had heard somewhere they are causing problems with inflammation. (And probably because he already dislikes them, and now he found someone who also says bananas are bad.). As I was watching this clip, something clicked inside me. Is the mass media and our doctors trying to weaken the blow that bananas are possibly going to be extinct in a short amount of time (if they don’t find a cure for TR4), by telling us that bananas are bad for us...so we won’t miss them, or will stop eating them and relying on them before they are gone???!?

      different varieties can be resistant to the disease. you could say the Cavendish may be on the pathway to extinction. and there will be no other better tasting banana to replace it. so its possible people may not be able to eat cavendish bananas anymore in 20 years time as it cannot be grown from seed. the branches you get off of the mother plants are likely to be diseased and may not survive long either. it could be possible for experts to crossbreed and try to develop a new type of banana but it will never taste the same.

      What do you expect? Americans drink %99 Arabica Coffee which the rest of the World thinks "tastes like ass". As an American it's our Companies that have pushed this on us. We do NOT get a choice when it comes to things like Coffee or Banana's. We get what they provide. Sure there are plenty of other Banana's and Coffee and other foods that not only taste better but are better for us, but what choice do we have? You only get what food that your home Country provides, unless you grow your own or raise those animals or hunt/fish for those animals. Which is another problem as people need to provide for their families and cannot afford to spend mass amounts of time hunting or fishing or farming.

    Not very… aPEELing 😂this was fantastic. So glad you actually spent time talking about monocultures; not enough people know about the dangers of them. There is a guy in Costa Rica named Brandon McKeon who has the original Gros Michel & others in a food forest and that works.
    I actually hope that There isn’t a variety that can replace Cavendish because panama disease all the other diseases that have proliferated because of monocultures hopefully we can learn our f*king lesson. Even the “resistant“ strains will eventually succumb to the disease and it will make a “super disease”

    It totally makes sense now...As a Caribbean native, it always baffled me that I would only see that tasteless banana sold in the stores here in the US. I enjoyed many varieties with different tastes, textures and amazing flavors before I migrated.
