Paignton Zoo in Devon, England, isn't monkeying around with their animals' diets anymore. Zookeepers are trading the monkeys' favorite fruit in for green leafy vegetables, saying bananas grown for human consumption are full of sugar and calories. "Wait, even the fruit isn't healthy anymore? What's left?!?!" CNN reader NeoPrudentist posted in what was soon rated the No. 1 comment on the story. What's left, indeed. First coffee. Then salmon. Now this? Those English zookeepers aren't totally wrong. All fruit contains sugar, and bananas are slightly denser calorie-wise than other types of fruit. But when it comes to nutritional bang for your buck, bananas are hard to beat. Just remember - no monkey business: Eat 'em in moderation. Read - Are bananas bad for me, too? Previously: |

No monkeying around – bananas off the menu.
This is gonna make the dungeon a little less...uhm...sweet?
Hey, the "no banana" thing isn't my rule ... but there are always cuc umbers. But this does beg the question: if there are no bananas allowed, what are Men of Eatocracy going to put in their woolen banana hamm0cks?
Wool itches......
