Bananas are like gold to me but they smell better, taste better and are more nutritious. Their yellow is nicer too. More sunny coloured. It does surprise me that a banana in Brazil is twice the price of a banana in New York. This stream is a valuable place, worth its weight in bananas for the knowledge provided. Maybe it's time to revise my expectations on US$ movements. Why don't the banana growers just ship all their bananas to Brazil, to supply people willing to pay so much money? Twice the price is serious money. Australia has absurdly expensive bananas, but that's because it's illegal to import bananas, so the local yokels are stuck with local production at extorquerationate prices, so of course they don't eat many bananas. Perhaps Bazil refuses importation to protect the local yokels. Mqurice
