Non Vegetable ethics question (bananas)
Okay, okay, yes this is produce related. I am considering making a large (50 gal.) banana pudding. As you might guess, that is going to require quite a few bananas. It occurs to me that, as I will be paying for bannanas by the pound, it would be cheaper for me to peel the bananas in the produce section.

Would this be ethical ...

Come on tally man,
Tally me banana
Daylight come
an' I wan' go home.


And then there is a lovely of coconuts

1. I doubt that the shop would allow it - they certainly shouldn't. n/t

2. All now praise bananas
They come in their own packaging. And it doesn't destroy the environment. :D

7. rub it together between your thumb and fingers

That's how I open plastic produce bags.

8. You mean the broccoli question?
No. Do you think mine is stupid? :eyes:

A copycat thread, believe it or not,is often inspired by the profundity of the original thread. As a matter of fact, I am aware of people who pop the stem off of mushrooms in order to by the caps. :crazy:
