Have you wondered why bananas are so cheap? Spoiler alert: the answer isn't good. Entities like the United Fruit Company had a nasty habit of taking advantage of low-wage workers, working them under the worst of conditions to sell cheap fruit back in foreign countries. But what happens when the workers fought back? Spoiler alert: the answer isn't good.
In this episode, we talk about the Banana Massacre of 1928 in Colombia. Find out who hurt people for fruit and what effects it had for most of the 20th and 21st centuries.
