That's a pretty shocking statement, coming from a jackrabbit!

Here is the one and only way to eat a banana:

1. carefully slice through the skin in a circle around the midpoint of the banana, without damaging the "meat" within. A Swiss Army knife works best for this.

2. Now firmly grasp both ends of the banana, one hand at each end.

3. Pull apart vigorously! The entire banana will drop neatly out of the skin, and you catch it with your tongue.

4. If the banana falls on the floor, you will have to start over with another one. Regular tongue exercising helps prevent this from happening.
