BANANAS

Banana Split Day!  Boy, that makes my mouth water but I'll be good and try to put it out of my mind.

Bananas are a great source for vitamin C and fiber but, unfortunately, they're also a great source of potassium, a deadly ingredient for failing kidneys.  Sadly, ice cream and chocolate are also X RATED for bad kidneys.

That means the only part of a banana split I can eat is the spoon and the bowl.

I think I'll pass.

By the way, did you know the banana is, actually, a member of the herb family.  It's related to orchids, lilies, and palms.
