Due to the rapid interest of Bananas to these countries, imports of Bananas have been reduced. This is starting to become a regular occurrence with different food exploding into popularity, after being introduced on TV or in a book. A while back, it was Natto (fermented Soy beans that smell like a old pair of Gym socks after an intense workout, but is actually very delicious) which become so popular, that stores were limiting the purchases to 1 pack a customer (then when the boom subsided, shops were overflowing with excess Natto that was produced to feed the former demand), and before Natto, it was red wine and Grape juice-which ran into the problem of people drinking too much alcohol to be healthy. There was also a major scandal where a program professing to introduce health foods and eating habits, was found to have faked results, and incorrectly translating interviews with American and Canadian Doctors/scientists, to fit the results that they wanted.
