Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Man, and after all that work we put in destroying those countries’ governments so we could grow those bananas…
If you love doing it then its not work
Heaven forbid common children could get healthy food! How dare they giving kids HFCS free bananas!
I'm guessing you've never actually worked in a school? They throw all that shit away. They eat the pizza nuggets, whatever, then toss the vegetables and topically the fruit. We have this thing called the "share table" at my school where you can leave things if other kids are still hungry, it's basically full of fruit and crap no one likes.
But yeah, that while nachelle Obama lunch thing is great on paper, but compete shit in practice. Also it's bogus AF they give the same lunch portions to 40lb kindergartners as 6' 200lb 6th graders.
That seems to be an American problem again. Your kids are so used to industrial food, it's horrifying.
Never thought I'd see the day and American would be threatened by a banana
Sometime in the future
This is so much worse than the headline even hints at.
TL;D(idn’t)W(atch)?
What're the coles notes? I'm old, I prefer reading vs watching, especially on YouTube
Clip from Donkey Kong Country where DK and Diddy go back into the cave where DK's Banana Hoard usually is stashed, but it's gone because the Kremlings took the bananas. DK shakes his head sadly as the game over music plays.
“But now, school districts are saying, ‘I can’t get you bananas because they’re not American.’”

Obviously the solution is to invade Panama and make it a US territory
Just grow them in Puerto Rico. But they don't know that it’s part of the US.
Invade Puerto Rico. Got it.
