Wonderful banana
If only fruits and vegetables could talk, then dieticians and many health advisers would have been out of job! Intelligent human beings gather from the fruits' shape, size, colours and other indications, what is good for us. Topping the list of such fruits, comes the banana. It is properly shaped, for conveniently holding by the fingers and palm of the hand! It also has a non slippery skin for ease and convenience in holding.
Next, the colour of its outer skin signals its state of fitness for being eaten by humans! When green, it is unripe and unfit for eating! Its yellow colour is the right coloured signal, that it is ready for eating! When black, it is over-ripe and not suitable for eating any more!
It also has a convenient knob on top, for ease in peeling its outer wrapper. Very conveniently for us, its outer wrapper is totally bio-degradable and can easily be thrown anywhere one likes!
Further, it is ideally shaped by being slightly curved, for easily taking it into the mouth! Its top is slightly smaller in size, for introducing into the mouth; and is also slightly curved towards the mouth, making eating it easier.
Finally, it is pleasing to the taste! What more can one desire? Which other fruit or vegetable is so custom-designed for our eating pleasure? Given this wonderful adaptability and suitability for our enjoyable eating, the least we could do is to award it our highest recognition!
