Banana's are doomed!

Quote:

And now I'm reading that in possibly as soon as five years -- maybe as long as 30 -- there will be no bananas left. Wiped out. Finished. No longer on the Earth. Or at least no longer edible.

Johann Hari of The Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote an interesting story recently about Panama Disease, a fungus that's been killing banana trees for about a century now. What's truly chilling is that the disease is getting stronger, and there is no cure.

No longer going bananas

Yeah, this immediately brought to mind the rumors from several years ago that agave was going extinct.

Reminds me of the Almond scare(lack of polinating bees) we had a few years ago.
