The massacre in 1928 of banana plantation workers in Colombia has been forever memorialized in the plot of "One Hundred Years of Solitude," Latin America's most famous novel. There's a similar massacre in the novel of banana plantation workers trying to rebel against a repressive regime. So, bananas are quite influential--they even inspired Latin America's greatest author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Also, your body destroys much of the DNA in foods you eat daily. Upon digesting food, DNA of wheat, beef steak or anything you had for dinner is completely torn apart and shredded by your stomach acid. Since all DNA is indiscriminately destroyed, whether the food is organic or GMO hardly matters anymore when it's inevitably going to be torn to bits.

You forgot to mention the part where researchers in Honduras over the past 30 years have bred a variety of banana with a taste similar to the superior Gros Michel but resistant to all known forms of Panama disease, without the use of genetic splicing (GMO). It's called the Goldfinger.

Most people think the bananas originated from Central/South Americas. As shown it actually comes from South East Asia. I like many didn't know that. Very interesting.

I think most fruits that we grow here in Latin America actually come from southeast asia, India more specifically. Native fruits usually don't taste as good (as they haven't been selectively bred for thousands of years) and are rarely produced comercially.

Monsanto is certainly bad in my opinion but this knee jerk rejection of everything GMO is stupid. There is nothing inherently wrong with GMO. We will have GMO bananas or no bananas at all on the US mainland. While they are at it, I hope they add some flavor. The apple bananas in Hawaii are much better tasting than the Cavendish. And wouldn't it be nice if they could bring back the American chestnut? I wonder if there are any survivors from which geneticists can create resistant strains.

WOW! Amazing History Lesson! The only thing left out was how the clothing company "Banana Republic" fits into the equation. LOL

For fun I've been collecting the stickers from Chiquita bananas the past 3 or 4 years, as the company comes out with various themes a few times each year. Until about this past December (2019), I've usually seen non-organic bananas labeled from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras (and organic ones mostly from Ecuador and Peru, but I pay less attention to these as they don't have special themes for their labels), but since December the non-organic ones have only been from Guatemala. I'm wondering if there is a particular reason for this, such as a political, economic or quarantine issue involved.

Because bananas are the fruit people deserve..but not the one it needs right now

we invaded Guatemala not because of morals or democracy but because of businesses

It seems more like EVIL corporations are letting the fungus destroy farmers, so corporations can finally emerge like saviors, only to take over the business without any "bitter, little, pesky" farmers.

This video jumps around the 1900s, confusing the timeline. One moment we're in the 1950's, and the next we're back in the 1920's, then back in the 1950's & 1960's again.

Hello. My name is josh. I can assure you that Chiquita Banana and corporations of the world are still taking advantage of citizens. I live in Costa Rica, and Dole still underpays people in the Jamaican/Northern parts of Costa Rica, like a region named 'Limon' (Also, conditions of water there are extremely poor. I have a friend who is a teacher who works doing community work there and has told me sometimes the water looks like coffee). Likewise in Costa Rica, companies like Amazon, are manipulating information with government tax-evasion zones called Zona-Francas. If you want to stop corruption that is still continuing in the world (Slave labor in Asian countries to produce electronic devices for companies like Amazon, Apple), and get workers rights and pay at a livable wage worldwide, please report on this. Research 'Zona Francas'. Also research the companies that take calls for Amazon (in India, Haiti, Jamaica, Columbia, etc.) Investigate companies like Sykes that work as parent companies for call centers for companies like Comcast. The production to the customer service for products sold are very corrupt. Please report on this.
