It was shown to me something that I never really asked. The question that I got out of it all was “Where Do My Banana’s Come From?” With that simple question I received a plethora of information about a company that I used to buy from. Chiquita has been on the forefront of several controversial and out right bad business doings, so much so that I was shocked and appalled at the information that I read about the situation. Military action mixed with bad intentions, has caused immigration to spike from the south of the U.S border, and to stop such migrations one must question the business practices of big companies in these cities. Immigration Orange has a great article on Chiquita and the turmoil in regards to actions that they have admitted to. We’re not talking about minor infractions, we’re talking about severe actions that need attention, and not to discredit the work that is being made in regards to awareness for Africa, but it seems that Latin America is ignored. Well now it’s time to consider looking at something other than the main stream media.
Video Store Blues is the third blog to take on the issue.
