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.

How, exactly, can the "War on Terror" ever be won if things such as this occur?

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?
