Anna they have been in short supply and expensive since the cyclone in March. They are still $12.95 per kilo on average, but they should be back to normal in the next 3 months.

Everyone on this board is sick of me lamenting the lack of bananas.

Hey but I am fruitarian and eat mainly fresh fruit and vegetables.

mmm gotta love em those 'nanas...managing to keep up my supply,don't look at the cost,just eat em...perfection in the gs,and wrapped in lettuce leaves,danged good i tell ya!!

My parents are here in a couple of weeks and hope I can make a 'lasting' impression especially on my Dad who is desperately overweight and extremely stressed.
I was going to cater to their diet some but have since decided that there are so many delicious raw concoctions I can make for him( and Mum, of course) that they can fit in with our diet and I will be doing them a favour. I hope he will feel good for it too. The sad thing is, then they go to my sisters' house and they will cook for them!!! They will have opportunity to see the difference in how they feel physically afterwards, I guess.
My dad sooo needs the motivation and he would be right. He has a world full of determination already just needing redirection. Positive energy and thinking for good toward them.

Thanks kt. I couldn't exactly say I can talk to my dad about it but he knows he can't change my thinking and will eat what I put out for him. My mum will listen to some of what I say but is still caught in the 'meat for protein and doctors for ills' mentality. Having said that though she did at one stage just eat fruit for her breakfast. They also don't eat as much red meat anymore, so I guess that is something and I am grateful for that .
