I like bananas, because they have appeal.
Also a source of phosphorous or whatever mineral it is that helps with
night leg cramps.
I've had to start drinking those "nutrition shakes" that TASTE AWFUL and
adding half a banana & some strawberries to it in the blender helps mask
the taste (chocolate makes me throw up so I can only use the "French
Vanilla")

Only about 60 million of them in this load, though.
Our San Diego hotel sits between the Convention Center (and a
harborfull of billionaires’ yachts), and the 20-acre terminal of the
Dole Fruit Company. From our hotel window we could watch the activity
there.
Sniffing around the web, I learned that San Diego is Dole's largest
terminal, with four smaller ones on the Gulf and East coasts. Dole
owns about 20 refrigerated container ships (each container has its own
chiller, using power from the ship); each ship carries about 300
containers. Most carry bananas, while others carry pineapples. Other
fruit companies lease container space and ships rather than owning a
fleet.
These are unusual for container ships, because they have their own
cranes (Central American port facilities are apparently not relaible
that way). This ship was unloading containers with the front crane at
the same time as the rear crane was loading empties.
More that you ever wanted to know, right? I think I’ll have a banana
with my tea…
