I have some bad news about bananas. The current strain we use as food is going extinct as the banana trees are ill and dying out. Luckily we're already changing a different strain to be ready for consumption (making them bigger and without seeds because yes, wild bananas are full of seeds).

Also cocoa plants are ill and dying and we don't have a different strain. So some time in the future we will be without chocolate.

I have a sudden inspiration for a new gmo food.

People are working on that already. Did not work until now as far as I know.

This is a problem that has been known for a while.
