Your fruit smoothie could be supporting terrorism

Oh, the Chiquita Banana.... so wonderful in so many ways. It's full of potassium, it adds a little flavor to your smoothie, it offers a smile when someone slips on its peel. And now? Turns out it supports terrorism.

From 1997 to 2004, Chiquita Banana company apparently paid 1.7 million dollars to a terrorist group for protection. They are now being charged 25 million by the US government.

Yikes...I had read about this earlier, and I still went out and bought bananas for smoothies I'll be making this weekend.

My brand is Del Monte, however, so I hope I'm safe.

You shouldn't eat the peanut butter either. Or the spinach... or the green chilies... and there was something else, wasn't there?
