Default Re: Dole Drops Lawsuit Against 'Bananas!'

Ultimately, the problems of the workers fall into the laps of the consumers who demand a a perfect looking banana. I understand that people don't realize what it takes to get that fruit to the table but unfortunately it takes gallons upon gallons of pesticides. In a few short weeks the planes will start flying over my house to deliver toxic chemicals to sweet corn and green beans because god forbid that a bean had a spot on it or the sweet corn was genetically modified.
