    I recently read on one of my favorite blog sites about some of the really disturbing agricultural practices, that continue to plague the banana industry. While I am not a fan of vilifying an individual company, I think it's important for consumers to know what they are buying at the grocery store, and to be aware that there are possible alternatives. Here is a link from that Honduran blog:
