Description

The reality is, we eat more times in a week than we have sex, so why aren't we talking about food more than we're talking about sex?

I know...sex is just more provocative, but in this episode, we're going to talk about the world's most beloved fruit - bananas.

It's the 4th most popular agricultural product, following rice, wheat and milk, and by the end of this episode, you might still want to eat bananas, but my guess is, you’ll look at them a little differently.

We’ll pull back the curtain on bananas and their second imminent extinction, we’ll look at the industry as a whole and who the big bananas are who own the market. We'll dig into the history and the communities impacted by the mass production of bananas.

We’ll see whether the opportunity cost of eating a banana for breakfast tomorrow or, blending it up in your smoothie, or scarfing down that slice of banana bread leaves the same taste in our mouths. Enjoy!
