Beware The Panama Disease & The Black Sigatoka Fungus

Oh, 

what a wicked World we live in. 

When a disease called the
Panama
doesn't even make the major media outlet's headlines. 

Another blight on the horizon is the Black Sigatoka. 

A fungus, 

I'm afraid to say, 

that doesn't affect the feet of men and women. 

It's a fungus of a different type. 

They say these two infestations could wipe out mankind's most precious fruit, 

the Cavendish banana. 

What did you think I was talking about? 

It could happen, 

they say by the pessimists, 

within ten years! 

The optimists say, 

who cares, 

since there are over two hundred varieties of bananas in the World 

and only the Cavendish is the only one in trouble so far. 

First, 

the Cavendish banana, 

then what other crop will be lost since genetic engineering has made certain plants vulnerable to new diseases? 

I know we can synthesize whatever kind of food we want, 

but have you ever eaten military rations for a long period of time? 

I couldn't take it more than three days in a row! 

Save the Cavendish 

and you'll save the World, 

from eating synth food!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
