My mother's evil plan!

Yo, I just wanted to say that you've all got Helm's permission. Keep it up.

It just struck me, but what's with the banana peelings. I mean, sometimes when you try to eat a banana, the peelings won't open so easily. And Then when you bite it in order to open it by ways of brutal violence it tastes like ugh. So why's that, why does it taste so bad, when for example orange's peeligns are used as spices? Does it have something to do with it protecting itself or am I not the only one without a clue here?

You must have never eaten a banana straight from the nature, right? Because the peal is under some chemical procedure, so that's why it's tastes so yuk!

What the... ?

This thread is still going?? I went on holiday for 5 days and it's still going?!

Minimi - eat the damned banana!

Minimi · Wed 08/02/2006 12:43:41

euhm, kinoko, I don't think that banana is eatable anymore at this moment!

i'll grab myself a new banana!

Tuomas · Wed 08/02/2006 12:52:26

yeah, he ate it already.

THe chemical. well I should have known. So if the banana doesn't taste bad when it's picked from a tree, why do monkeys take the peels off?

Minimi · Wed 08/02/2006 13:15:53

let me ask you this question:

if humans aren't the same as monkeys, then why do we both take the peels of?

the peel of a banana is hard for our body to process and there are no vitamines in the peel. So it would be just a hurt for the stomach. It would have the same effect as to eat a sheet of paper. you won't die from it, but it isn't healthy either!

Tuomas · Wed 08/02/2006 13:29:21

It's not healthy? bugger, after all this paper

I think, why we take off the peels off, is because they have chemicals in it

THe thing about monkeys... I really have no idea. Are you sure there are no vitamins etc in them? It sounds like a waste. But really, I reckon, either of us eat the peels because they are hard to chew and taste bad.
