Banana Processing Facility, Costa Rica Is Not A Paradise...

This visit to banana processing facility nearby Guelpos has torn my heart apart... I should've rather not seen this... These poor people are working 12 hour day at 32 degree Celcius temperature just to survive and making about $260 USD per month in the country where pair of shoes costs just as much as anywhere in United States ! One could consider these international banana exporters as promoters of the legalised slavery in 21st century... When you think about degenerates like Paris Hilton, Michael Jackson, Ozzy Osbourn etc. making millions on virtually bullshit and moving from one scandal or disaster to another, and associated hysteria administered by hordes of media and alike... our world is really sick...

You and I stopping eating bananas won't save the world, amigo, LOL ! Instead, we'll throw all these people on the streets, so let's eat as many bananas and other fruits as possible or "Eat All Dat !"

Hello Eldar. Workers of he world Unite! I am really touched by your essay of labor fairness. But, nudnick as I am I must ask you, are you going to give up eating Bananas to give credibility to your point.? For if you do, I will join you and do the same... and then we can say that you and I have the courage of our convictions.... and then we can sing and say, "W'ere All Dat!" Michael.

Sick it is,and therefore we should listen more to Harry Bellafonte's:"...stuff banana till the morning comes !"....daylight comes and me wanna go home..!
And all in the name of DEO,...oh Deeeoooo.
Others call themselves Chiquita,or Dellmonte.
What you do not realize is that these companies polute the whole country and rivers with their pesticides.Same in Colombia,and the rest of the world.
Well,at least you took a good pic to prove your point.
