I wasn't going to click on it until I read this comment, then my curiosity got to me. I am disappointed. I expected a story about spiders being imported on bananas. Like this one:

I lurked around and found that women are putting cabbage on their breasts in European countries..

I've read too many stories about people getting home from the supermarket, opening their bunch of bananas and having a nest of deadly poisonous killer spider eggs drop out, hatch, and colonise the neighbourhood.
You never get that with apples.

I hear that works to reduce soreness associated with lactation. They say to freeze the individual cabbage leaves. (not from the site, I couldn't be bother to read any further than that link)

Always buy your bananas in the cold Canadian winter

I did have a massive one drop off a skid of paver bricks, along with multiple nests throughout. Don't know what kind they were though.

I just looked at my recently purchased fresh black grapes and they are number 4056... Am I going to die now?

Well. I eat hundreds of bananas each year (without ever checking the numbers on labels) and nothing bad has happened to me yet.......

This actually worked for me when I had mastitis during breastfeeding.... They stink though. (The cabbage leaves)

I really recommend people to watch the documentary "The Sad Story of the Banana". It was so horrifying that I only ever buy fair trade bananas now! Really eye opening.

At least they didn't lie about the 9 for organic (I was a cashier for 11 years)

If you watched a documentary about where most foods/ingedients are imported from, you'd likely be equally horrified. Definitely do whatever you feel you should do as far as supporting or not supporting those practices, but bananas aren't the only bad guy.

So if a banana has no label on it what does that mean I wonder?

It's not really a banana.

Yes, I try to keep informed about all the things I eat, as it is really important to me personally that I contribute as little as possible to harm in this world.

Just trying to share information! If I told people to watch seventeen documentaries about every type of unethical food production, they probably wouldn't watch any of them- bananas obviously aren't the only product that I try to buy ethically, but it was the one that was relevant to the topic (aka being a banana fact).
