In a great example of the power of fad-ism in Japan, we are experiencing a very real banana shortage! Yes, that's right. A banana shortage. (And this is not good news for us, since our family goes through a LOT of bananas.)
Apparently, this is due to the booming popularity of the latest diet, The Morning Banana Diet, which was described on a widely viewed TV show a couple of weeks ago. Ever since, it has been seriously difficult to find bananas in the stores! Totally crazy. . . .
