The American Pallet 8/23/2016
There are many diff
erent kinds of bananas in the world but we most know about one or two kinds of bananas. Why is this you may ask? Well Kelsey Timmerman explains this in his book "Where Am I Eating." He learns that there are many different kinds of bananas and he discovered this because of a banana farmer in Costa Rica. There are plenty types of bananas around the world but the industries only pick one banana to sell. "People don't know that there are these options, but the Cavendish is highly productive and [the industries] is looking just for the money"(Timmerman 148). Most people don't know there are more choices other than the Cavendish because that is what the industries put out in the market because it makes more money. Which could be a huge reason why the American pallet doesn't have a wide range of different taste of bananas since they only eat one type of bananas. "All consumers are demanding Cavendish because it is the only banana they know" (Timmerman 148). So many countries are a big consumer of bananas the industries only put Cavendish in the market could be another reason why people don't have a wide range of taste when it comes to that. Since the indusries only pick one product to sell which leaves the consumers without knowledge of other types of banana that exist. Do you think we should have different types of bananas or stay with the Cavendish? What happens to the other kinds of bananas? If people were allowed to taste other kinds of bananas would they like it or not? If they taste other kinds that would probably change the American Pallet. Then the American pallet would have a wide range of taste for bananas. Which can contribute a better pay for farmers because if the American Pallet changes that would mean other productions of bananas not only the Cavendish. Then they would be able to taste different varieties of bananas from "big and small, and blend and sweet" (Timmerman 149). That way the American pallet can be diverse and it helps everyone in the process.
