The bananas tell us about the differences between...




.... the way that a banana grows in nature versus how a banana grows in the hands of a corporation. One is a Third World Banana, the other a First World Banana. Both were grown in the Third World. One was grown in Bali, the other was grown in the Philippines and shipped to Bali.

Just look at this difference.

They are both equally ripe and ready to eat. One looks like bananas have looked since the dawn of time..... the other type of banana is a more recent addition.

One is much tastier. The other bit grainy and less flavourful.

A banana as a metaphor. Nice.....
