Bananas

God created nothing bad in food, drink, or women. It's the wantonness in us that make things bad. Our misuse of good things to be habitual and at the same time excessive make things go bad.

Give a bunch of bananas to a chimp. He will not stop until he's eaten the whole caboodle. We have knowledge that tells us how much nutrition we need, how much to store for the future, even how to make bananas grow. We just don't look at bananas from the standpoint of gorging in pleasure alone. Same should hold true for wine and women. Unless we are nothing but fat orangutangs.
