Bad news for the day: Bananas Could Split for Good. (bad pun from the BBC)

One of our new volunteers in Egypt recently told me about the possibility of a banana blight. This article from the BBC is a couple of years old, so let's hope scientists have been working on things! Thankfully, it's not a problem for me in Egypt b/c the bananas here are a different variety. The taste a bit creamier and are softer than what you get in N. America.
