I eat the core too! There's nowt wrong with eating the core
Angrily eats banana peel...
Make eye contact throughout, show dominance
It contains cyanides, so if you eat too many apples this way, expect headache
me too! but this one time in high school calculus, my classmate beside me ate the core and put the seeds and stem on a napkin, like i usually did. but then he proceeded to pour them all into his hand and SWALLOW IT IN ONE BIG GULP, and ngl it really pissed me off for some reason. after that, i preferred eating oranges.
They tend to go extinct every so often and need a different variety to replace them.
Is there concern about the cavendish?
Yes. Cavendish is in trouble.
I could be just parroting a myth, but aren't they all genetic clones? So anything that evolves to attack one has evolved to attack all, potentially quickly wiping out just about all of them. And I think this happened with the banana we used before this one so now they're rare and super expensive.
Through standardizing the banana, we've removed biodiversity.
They are a monoculture. Nature hates a monoculture. There’s a reason those don’t happen naturally.
Look up the history of the banana trade.
Banana smell is so powerful if you leave a banana in the fridge over night any unprotected food will taste like a banana
What if I hire a bodyguard for the banana?

I like how the person is placing a banana to show scale/size.
If you eat too many its hemorrhoid time.
