Bananas have been so overly genetically modified (GMO) to help in growth, appearance, cultivation and transportation that they are now able to be a mainstream fruit. Add to that the massive political and civil disruption within the producing countries to protect economic interests and you have nanas for everyone!

Bananas are not technically a GMO + they have been cultivated over several thousand years to be what we have today..You can argue that is still generic modification but it's no different to animal husbandry or the selective breading of wheat and so on that has also been going on for thousands of years.

A rather unconventional use of the term GMO.
Are you just trying to make things fit your political bias?
