So in the past 2 days, Chiquita has admitted to paying off Colombian Guerillas (considered an official terrorist organization by the US government), and both the islands of Guadalupe and Martinique are considered toxic due to banana pesticides…

What is a banana lover to do?

I've been eating organic as much as I can, but that doesn't deal with social issues. Anyone know any good alternatives to bananas?

Here are some of the news links:
