Have you seen how big our bananas are? That is not normal. Bananas have been genetically engineered so only the larger ones are reproduced for food. The upside is we have very large bananas. The downside? Very low gene pool diversity among bananas, so the second a disease comes along every banana on the planet is wiped out.

Resistance to disease depends almost entirely on genetic diversity in the genotype of a species.
