I'd never heard anyone say a banana was bad until I joined MFP. Totally weird to me.

The community guidelines do not allow the promotion of evil demon calorie intakes below 1200. :devil:0 -
I... Really, someone thinks bananas are bad for you? I mean they're foul little fruits, but not unhealthy.
It's because sugar. If a person thinks sugar is the debil then they think bananas are "bad."
Or, like another poster mentioned, when someone talks about eating mostly bananas, to the exclusion of other foods (like the aptly-named "banana girl" from YouTube)0 -

Ooops! My bad. I was channeling my inner Sesame Street when you said "brought to you by....the number 1200" :laugh: :laugh:
Especially since I get hangry if I eat only 1200 - that's not even in my vocabulary!!0 -
useful tips on storing bananas.

i don't like mine to get over-ripe (too sweet) and since i usually buy 6-8 at a time, this causes me a problem leaving them on the counter. therefore, when they are all at the ripeness i prefer, i put them in the fridge where they will stay at that ripeness for a few days until i've eaten them all.0 -
Bananas are also supposed to be loaded with potassium.
But I like bananas, anyway.0 -

I love bananas best that have a teeny tiny bit of green on them. The more ripe they are, the less I like them. I didn't know about that refrigerator trick, thanks so much for sharing. What we sometimes do with overripe bananas, instead of throwing them away, make banana or banana nut bread (from scratch) instead.0 -
I eat a banana almost every day! Love 'em!0

Actually, bananas are not a fruit, it's "technically a berry and a strawberry is not a berry?!?:noway: ...it's funny what I've discovered doing research on foods I'm eating: I found this on OMG Facts
http://www.omg-facts.com/Science/A-strawberry-isnt-an-actual-berry-but-a/1339
A strawberry is not an actual berry, but a banana is.
By technical definition, a berry is a fleshy fruit produced from a single seed. The strawberry, however has its dry, yellow "seeds" on the outside (each of which is actually considered a separate fruit). True berries, such as blueberries and cranberries have seeds inside. However, the banana fruit is a berry for the same reason strawberries are not.
There is a theory that strawberries were named by 19th century children who picked the fruit, strung them on grass straws, and sold them as "Straws of berries".0 -

Yesterday I ate a banana, some banana bread and a slice of banana cream pie. I've already had today's banana and am looking forward to some more pie. I love everything banana. . . I'm remembering the banana bomb pops I used to get from the ice cream truck that drove around my neighborhood when I was a kid.0

How can someone not like bananas? That's like not liking Christmas or Matt Damon movies.0

I recon it's time for me to learn the art of loving the Banana :drinker:
Me too! :drinker: :drinker: Having one for breakfast is now a nice option for me, instead of skipping having something in the morning.0 -
I like bananas alright (mostly combined with other things), but how are they considered high in iron? It's like 1% of your daily iron value.0
