Good afternoon phloem phreers,
Like Satoshi Nakomoto I have created a movement only to sit back and disappear once it started to gain traction. I could have never anticipated when I started this journey the many twists and turns I would encounter, the near death encounters and not to mention the stacks and stacks of fan mail I had to sift through. But despite the threats from big banana, I have made it here on the other side to bring you a message of hope. Though there is much turmoil in the world now, I believe now as strongly in my message as I did all those years ago. Probably even stronger.
When our movement was mentioned in the Huffington post a couple years ago it rekindled in me my passion for removing phloem bundles and educated the public on why they are so dangerous.

Since that time I've put my heart and soul into researching just why this problem exists and how we can stop it. I found the origin went back to us humans trying to mess with perfection and genetically engineer bananas to come up with a kind that could resist fungi that had wiped out banana varieties years before.
This article details how our genetic engineering and trying to "play god" with the bananas led to this modern banana that has four thousand times the amount of phloem bundles as the previous kind.

The good news is, as this article states, this variety of banana, called the Cavendish may soon be extinct if they are again wiped out by a malevolent fungi but I fear when this happens they may be replaced by an event more phloem bundle rich variant.
The good news is there is still time for us to infiltrate the highest levels of banana research and plant our phloem phreers there to advocate for a phloem bundle less banana.
We can do it if we stay strong.
That is all for now phloem phreers. Til next time.
