Save the bananas!

Just read this short op-ed in the NY Times about bananas and how in 5-20 years a tree fungus called Panama disease could wipe out the banana crop in Latin America. yikes. it also explains why bananas are still so cheap compared to other fruit, which i've always wondered. okay, maybe not always... but several times.
