Potassium, My Dear Chiquita

I should be focusing on how I really, really need to find a new full time job (as of like yesterday), but instead I am going to recount a conversation one of my best friends and I had last night about bananas.

While we were on the phone my friend had a leg cramp. I told him he needed more potassium in his diet, so he said he was going to get some bananas. Then I got to thinking aloud about whether or not there are other foods besides bananas that have oodles of potassium in them. He couldn't think of any (I was too lazy to get out of bed and head to the Internet), and since he isn't always a fan of bananas he declared this cornering of the market was so bananas could have their day in the sun. I said sometimes there is nothing as good as a banana, but I needed to further qualify that by stating that it had to be an almost still totally green banana. He instantly disagreed. He spoke up on behalf of the yellow banana that has just started to get brown spots. Turns out bananas are one of those things in life that people feel passionately about. There isn't a gray zone when it comes to how you like your banana; it is truly a black and white, clear cut issue.

So how do you like your bananas?
