name one bad thing about it.
Okay, the wages and working conditions of plantation workers. The cost of bananas in first-world countries is ridiculously low, and is demeaning to those who work hard to enable this privilege for us.

Exactly. The post calls them being cheap a good thing, but when you know about the slave wages, idk if them being this cheap is that much of a positive.
A lot of people just know that one song from the Beetlejuice movie, but it’s about the workers in banana plantations:
“Come Mr. tally man! Tally me banana.
Daylight come and me wanna go home.”
