I put the bad behaviour of fans at AFL matches down to a shortage of bananas at AFL venues.

Banana smoothies instead of beer would improve crowd behaviour no end.

I'm not sure if those are a travesty for beer or a travesty for bananas.

True story:

Many people who consider that they may be some level of gluten intolerant will experiement by replacing a number of gluten-heavy foods (obviously breads) with low or non-gluten alternatives.

One of the leading items in this is a bread made from bananas (not to be confused with the cafe snack 'banana-bread').

A feature of this banana product is that it has very high levels of various fibres and roughages which do an excellent job of clearing out the digestive system (much like Uncle Bitters on a good day at the mansion, so I hear).

So, the people who have made the switch from gluten to gluten-free experience a significant improvement in digestion, even if they weren't actually gluten intolerant. A quite understandable round of confirmation bias kicks in and tada, they become really annoying at group dinners.

Never underestimate the power of bananas.

in many parts of the world they grow "cooking" banana variants (not sweet) which are used more as a vegetable than a fruit. In fact in some countries these variants predominate (e.g. South America i believe)

It warms my heart to see this thread back to its roots.

Ahh bananas!

i'm familiar with the cafe snack version (sweet). do you have any more info on this other version (links, etc)?

Well, there are 'superfood' brands that push it, but they annoy me just by calling themselves superfood brands. 'Green banana flour' is the most directly relevant search term. I can't offer much more than wikipedia, which does also have a whole collection of links at the bottom which seem up to date. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_flour

Meanwhile, in other banana news, the nanny/police state is coming for our little yellow friends!

Someone asked me the difference between ignorance and apathy and I told them that I didn't know and didn't care less anyway.
