I also want to add that fruit farming in South America is sometimes an extremely violent, oppressive industry where farmers are murdered. You can Google the horrible treatment of banana farmers and the gross wrongdoings of companies like Chiquita and Dole. Every single time I eat a banana I know I am contributing to great evil in the world. These farmers get paid slave wages so I can eat a banana in California for 75 cents.
