Next thing you will be saying that you ate it whilst seated in a high end Merc outside your waterfront mansion.

Just don't buy the damn things, spend the $12 on beer or some other fine brew. It's not like if you don't eat bananas you die.
If you can do it - Do it! If you can't do it - Try it!
Do both well!

Are bananas more susceptible to disease, or is there some other reason they don't have similar bans on imports of other fruit and veggies?

Ok, for example we import mangoes from India, Mexico and the Philippines. They also carry pests and diseases but are fumigated on arrival. So why is it ok to import them but not bananas? Why are bananas (and banana growers) singled out for special treatment

Completely avoiding the politics of this thread....
Saw an amusing sign at a fruit stall at the local markets on the weekend;
"Please Note: Banana's are not kept on these premises overnight"

Try this one...... when bananas become cheaper and appear in staff fridges/lunch boxes etc again.
About half an hour before lunch - grab the banana and about half way down the shaft - insert a pin and while staying inside the skin scribe an arc which effectively cuts the banana into 2. Remove the pin and return the banana to the fridge/lunch box etc.
At lunch - watch the fun as the person peels the banana and half falls into their lap - Do it every now and then - promote discussion on the quality of bananas and growers/retailers who sell broken bananas.
Most never figure it out.
