Will Bananas be Wiped Out By Disease?

- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Bananas are delicious. They're a healthy snack, and go great with hot fudge and ice cream. But they're also a crucial part of a lot of peoples' diets, and for the past few years a fungal menace has been spreading and wiping out banana crops all over the world. And it may mean the end of the banana as we know it.

They are definitely worth saving. A peanut butter and banana sandwich wouldn't be the same without them! 🍌🍞
THERE'S ALWAYS MONEY IN THE BANANA STAND!
+Brandon Hall Wait - YOU BURNED IT DOWN? THERE WAS 20 THOUSAND DOLLARS LINING THE WALLS AND YOU BURNED IT DOWN? HOW COULD I HAVE MADE IT MORE CLEAR? THERE'S ALWAYS MONEY IN THE BANANA STAND!
NO TOUCHING!
I was really expecting Matt to slip on the banana
Good to hear an update on this. I've been trying to find more info on the banana crisis since I read an article on it that was written in 2005. It said it was likely the cavendish would be extinct by 2015. Year after year I would look for any updates, but I was only able to find those same articles or ones referencing the same 10 year fact, but written much later.
I was eating a banana while watching this. It tasted scared. Poor little guy. Its in a better place now.
Good job on the thumbnail, it represents The Good Stuff quite well.
I want a sweeter banana
Thanks for the infotainment!! These videos really are, ahem, the Good Stuff.
worth saving? bananas are the best-selling product in walmart! (I could not believe this too!)
nough said
+HajoBenzin1 I live in Australia and we don't have walmart but from what I have heard about it online I would have predicted the top selling thing was some kind of crack cocaine
I live in Germany and we also don't have walmart but the top selling product is beer (and cocaine) ;D
HajoBenzin1 I know, right? (I want to keep bananas cuz banana strawberry milkshakes).
Love that last little shirt ripping pile driver section. Very nice! ;)
i'm so looking forward to that marathon episode!
So excited for the marathon video, Craig's been teasing it for a while in his Wheezy vids :D
It's sad I will never taste the sweet old bananas
I saw a recent post on facebook about why banana candys don't taste like banana. It reminded me of this video!
There's like 3 types of bananas avaible in Paraguay, they're all seedless, sweet and delicious.
Great show, but just a quick grievance: I have a 27" LCD, and the video quality just hurts my eyes. Please switch to fixed lens (or whatever the issue is, I'd put my money on a zoom lens) as soon as you can. When all the infographics are HD sharp as a razor blade, it is really painful.
The most informative video about the subject.
I could not live without bananas. I love them
Could they try to grow them indoors, like vertical farming?
+mmann66666 That's what I figured, but if it comes down to it it might be better than no bananas at all...I really hope vertical farming becomes easier and cheaper in the next couple decades. I think in the long run it's a better way of doing things.
Great video guys
Funny enough, bananas came up in conversation today. I spat out some of the knowledge I learned from this episode. Thanks for making me seem smarter than I am!
Oh no, bananas are the best fruits when doing sports. I don't know what I will eat if they disapear :c . Science save us all!
i remember my grandpa saying "this new bananas have no flavor" and reluctantly putting some on his and my cornflakes, now i get it.
I live in the Caribbean and bananas are pretty common in any variety here. Even the Gros Michel
In Mexico we have three popular babanas.
We call them "plátano" (Cavendish), "plátano macho" and a variation similar to the cavendish but with a much smaller sice, I just call them "mini-plátano"
Why not genetically modify the Gros Michel to make it immune to Panama disease and then reintroduce it to the market?
+jednoucelovy Because people think random mutations are safer than controlled ones.
This is in my top 2 edutainment shows.
Why not start growing more Gros Michel bananas again?
+Frank McManus because they are STILL in danger. and Who wants the shitty seeds that are in that stupid banana anyway.
*****
afaik, they aren't resistant to the current fungus, either.
+ThoperSought right - but if we can engineer fungus resistant cavendish... couldn't we, just as easily, engineer a fungus resistant Gros Michel?
LoserProvocateur
_"couldn't we, just as easily, engineer a fungus resistant Gros Michel?"_
that's a really good question.
I have to say that I don't know the answer. based on what (relatively little) I know about genetic engineering, I'd say that it's _likely_ to be roughly similar if the fungus attacks both in the same way.
since the Cavendish was resistant to the fungus that took down the Gros Michel, it's possible that there's a bit of a difference.
this makes me wonder what the fungus is attacking, exactly, and why the Cavendish was resistant to the original form of the fungus.
Sooooo glad you didn't care how to peel your banana, I laughed when you said on wheezywaiter 'something like'; the internet says i should peel this from the other end but i cant tell the difference
An idea I had is to develop a broader variety of bananas, and then plant them in alternating rows, and in those rows banana varieties will be planted as variety #1,#2, #3 repeating in each row. Also, there would be 2 different types of rows, each having their own 3 varieties. the system would go like this: variety 123..., next row 456... If this worked, it should make an infection to a specific variety spread slower and soften the impact on the production of bananas.
Stunned that I never knew half of this. o.o
Isn't there any way to 100% seclude a portion of bananas from the outside world?
I don't want to live without bananas.. I used to have a banana tree grove in my back yard, they grew tiny (yet tasty) bananas that I ate as a kid....I don't know what they are called but it takes like 3 of them to make up one Cavendish.
HOW DARE YOU CRAIG BENZINE PEEL THE BANANA THE WRONG WAY!?
+Edward Überfluss (edward-ueberfluss) I was just about the write the same thing.
+Robert Fletcher ;) ***Thumbs up***
thank you Craig for peeling the banana the right, human way.
#NewPantsForBananas
Because genes....jeans....I'll see myself out.
+Kassuhday That's not even a good bad joke.
TheRecreator This is why I'm not a comedian.
How many varieties of plantains are there, though?
Why not the Lacatan? I live in the Philippines, and the Lacatan is the most commonly-eaten banana here. There are also cooking bananas, called Saba bananas -- no good for eating plain, but it's great for frying up and eating that way.
Couldn't we preserve a few of them, so we can re-introduce them after an outbreak?
Maybe also time to start looking for ways to bring back the seeds? Do we still have enough seeded varieties? Would it be possible to do something crazy like grow two varieties (seeded and seedless) somewhat in parallel, so we have both?
Bananas, bananas, they're sitting on my fridge...
This is so fascinating to me. I definitely hope bananas survive.
how does the cloning of these fruits work exactly? just curious how they were able to clone fruits over 200 years ago.
I live in Bangalore and have a choice of half a dozen varieties each delicious. And NO Cavendish. in 1971 when I visited the Banana Nursery (not a major research station) in Peringamala in Kerala
I recall that they had a few hundred varieties. Even today we have more than 50 varieties grown commercially including dwarf Cavendish. If we are sensible there is a great future for bananas and plantains which hold a pride of place in Indian tradition from ancient times
my imaginary friend is a ghost banana, and yes... bananas are worth saving.
how is this related to persistence?
+Max Fux Bananas are clones, and clones are a way of genetics persisting over time. Its a bit of a stretch, but it works for us.
+The Good Stuff Amazing video dudes as always you guys are great. Answering your question, bananas are definatelly worth all the effort to be saved!
+Max Fux that fungus is VERY persistant, it wiped the most popular variety of bananas, and now it's going for the new popular variety, that is persistence.
+Max Fux
how is it not? this is an ongoing fight, now, that we lost once before.
+Taco Preacher that`s dedication too!
I never thought I would identify so strongly with a seed
I am a high carb vegan. my morning and lunch includes up to 20 bananas. when my bananas aren't ripe I'll buy dates. dates are more expensive per calorie but taste better and just more pleasant to eat in general. if I couldn't get bananas I'd go for dates in the morning and potatoes and rice the wrest of the time for my staples.
Man, this was bananas.
...I'll see myself out.
why are they trying to save the Cavendish and not bring back the Gros Michel. It tasted better right?
Maybe a topic for a followup video?
So if we have different types of bananas, (as apples have Fuji, Granny Smith, McIntosh, etc.) this disease will be less likely to destroy all bananas?
these videos are so fucking good
I'm in India and I've seen 3 types of bananas in the market including the Scavendish, so is our market safer in terms of exposure/volatility to disease?
This is why I'm stockpiling bananas
That's just bananas.
if Panama disease is coming back in some areas, is that making bananas more expensive for the people in those areas who rely heavily on the nutrition bananas provide?
If you ever get a chance to try a red banana, try it! Soooooooo goood!!!
If Bananas disapear this song won't make any sense " Bo bony bonana fanna fo fony fee fy mo , mony"
+Larned Justin But the song "Yes! We have no bananas!" would become topical
+Larned Justin The irony is that the song still doesn't make any sense, even with bananas.
Is it true some bananas are trapezoidal?
Thumps up for Ecuador!!!!! my banana republic.
Hope you guys like plantains sprinkled with sugar.
Future kids will be like: "What's a banana?" Scary 🍌
+TheJman0205 Yeah but bananas don't look like derpy little chickens so we will forget them just like the Gros Michel.
Save the bananas! We need something to make inappropriate jokes in the school lunch room with!
you peeled the banana wrong :O:O:O
+Seameus no way, he peeled it right! It's you guys that are doing it wrong!
Dmitry Osoka You rebel!
Seameus banana stem-peelers shall prevail!
Dmitry Osoka Never!
+Seameus I thought everyone peeled their banana like that...
I MUST MAKE ALL THE BANANA BREAD I CAN. THIS WORLD DEPENDS ON IT!
this is actually interesting
This must've been a messy cleanup. Did you transport the alligator to the Good Stuff studio to take care of the dead Cavendish clone? Does the alligator even like bananas?
BLAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAH that ending was so amazing!!
PBS graphics fucking TOP NOTCH
I am allergic to all fruits with several snal seeds in the core, so almost everytime a breaktime during kidergarden and other day activities, when the other's got apples, I got a banana, so now they're my favorite fruit. And so this is scary for me to realize that I have to move on to oranges, but they're so juicy!!!!!! Noooo!!!!!!
I grow my own bananas so....
(Not Cavendish another more tasty but less long lasting banana strain)
what about red bananas?
The banana is important. They help some people live.
yeee
Guys, that's how the midwest peels bananas.
The Bananapocalypse is upon us
forget Cavendish, Latundan bananas is what's up!
I welcome our new banana friends
I do not eat any other banana, what will we do??
oh no, please save the banana
please....don't die bananas...my mom makes a killer banana nut bread.
I am very scared.
And someone has to warn freelee the banana girl
Here in Brazil we have several different bananas but I don't know if they would be good for the international market =/
PS: We have a banana that the smell resembles an apple :)
Super Dwarf Cavendish homegrown, I'm tired of food being industrialized only to have mother nature put a stop to it.
Why don't we have multiple kinds of bananas? Thatd be dope
And what about banana phones?
We should splice the old taste back into our bananas
+CouragePope That is exactly how it works.
+Andrew Rainer I know that's why we should do it.
+CouragePope yeah
oh no not my pb&bs
bananas ale important !
I doubt all bananas of this kind will go extinct. I'm gonna keep growing them in my backyard in Florida, and I doubt the fungus will ever get here. If lots of people grew bannans locally, they probably would not go extinct.
They definitely still could, did you not hear that even storms or dust can spread it?
BANANA!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Shirt-tearing piledriver FTW!
im gonna go eat a banana now
I could live without them because I can't stand the taste of them but I know many people depend on them for food and a living.
+Samantha P This was my thought exactly. Can't stand them, wouldn't personally miss them. But while I personally despise them I wouldn't wish them away knowing the global repercussions for so many people.
No, I need my bananas!!!
The banana flavoring is a myth. It has to do with simplicity of flavor. The Gro Michel banana just happens to taste like simple banana flavoring.
this video made me eat 2 bananas...
STOP OPENING BANANAS FROM THE WRONG END!
ruclips.net/video/Kb-IxiUkex8/видео.htmlm32s
What type is this at 5:32 ?
NO. NOOO. NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
my thoughts exactly.
goodbye brown shirt 😢
Hah! Other countries have a much wider variety of bananas. In Australia we have eight common varieties... and a few other occasional ones including the gros michel
curse you, Australia!
+waitingfor2008 Hah! We're infuriating. Like Canada with beaches and bananas.
