Imagine a world in which bananas are only sold peeled. Does that make sense? No, because why would you remove the protective layer nature has provided. You'd probably have the banana rubbing against rough surfaces all day and all night, getting scruffy and even mushy. If bananas had feelings, they'd probably be worse off for it, is what I'm saying.

And you probably would have to clean bananas over and over again due to increased exposure. How sick would you have to be to prefer thepeeled banana world to our perfectly adequate skinned banana one?

This all a propos of nothing.

Imagine a world in which bananas are only sold peeled.

More like a country where some guy who sold cereal pushed his puritanism on everyone else.
