'Banana" is easy reading and interesting especially to me, a sometime "visiting fireman" in Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Ecuador. I am half way through the book in one evening, and what I have read indicates Dan might be unaware that Del Monte, the U.S. food processing company once know as California Packing Corporation, is not now and for some time has not been involved in the banana business. The former Del Monte banana business is now run by Del Monte Fresh, a separate entity that has a right to use the Del Monte brand name. For more informatrion, google Del Monte Fresh Produce!
