[Banana’s future is on the skids](http://www.msnbc.com/news/860774.asp)

What will become of the banana split or bananas foster and other important banana based foods? How much truth is there to this report? Is this just a scare tactic by the Beligian pathologist in a plot to increase waffle consumption? Will there be a way to keep bananas from becoming extinct? How much will the price of bananas increase? Is this the break plantain farmers have been waiting for? What’s the bottom line?
