An orange is better than a banana

In this round I will introduce no new material, only a heap of rebuttal. 1. Chinese No, they don't let you heal faster, they make you feel sicker. They do fight illness, but only while fighting your immune system at the same time. The overly-superstitious Chinese did not know this. 2. Some people can have more calories You gave indications that some people can eat 10% more calories. It follows that they can therefore have 10% more vitamin C. 2 oranges do not give 10% more, they give 50% more. Therefore even for these fringe groups they are dangerous. 3. Orange leaves can be brewed in tea Thanks for reminding me. Orange leaves can. Bananas can be made into banana splits, enjoyed on a roast and in curry. Refute that. In addition, refute the fact that banana leaves are better for cooking with than orange wood as they add flavor AND prevent burning. When you refute even half of my arguments you will be in a position to say to me "refute the one and only argument you missed. " 4. Bananas contain sugars So do oranges, so that's not an argument for orange peel being better than banana peel. 5. I still say we stop middle east orange production I'm going to extend this and recommend they plant banana trees instead. Banana trees will build up the soil, look attractive and not use as much water, being used to growing in harsh conditions. 6. Gamma rays Radioactivity does not necessarily induce gamma rays. Besides, the gamma rays from the sun are thousands of times more powerful. I just did a quick test and proved to myself that I can lift Thomas with one finger. Indeed, my finger is so strong that it can lift Annie and Claribel (Thomas' carriages) too. I suggest you eat a banana to appreciate the awesome finger strength bananas provide. As to doing somersaults while flying an airplane, I could do that too, I've just never tried. Doing it and staying alive afterwards might be a bit trickier but not impossible for a banana eater. 7. Oranges are rare Citrus may be rarer than potassium, but smile shaped fruit are rarer than citrus. Whether it is a smile or a frown, it is still rarer. 8. Plagiarism You have to admit you're passing it off as being YOUR argument though. 9. Everyone has a different body But everyone has the same teeth. These can still rot. Please also address the myriad of other banana health benefits. 10. Enjoyment You could, of course, juggle bananas too. Jesters, however, prefer oranges because they are so laughable. You can also eat bananas in portions, or mash the banana and eat a part of the mash, or stew it and eat a part of the stew, or grill it etc. Bananas not rolling is a good thing, it is so that they don't roll away. For added convenience, their packaging is also slip-proof so it won't pop out of your hand. 11. Banana peel dropping is harmful It's no more harmful than orange peel dropping 12. Muhammad You can't say ANYTHING about a historical figure with certainty. You don't even know if Muhammad existed for sure. All you can go on is probabilities. 13. Top Fruit I will repeat my source: . http://bananasaver.com.... You have no source to back up your sixth-place placement. Thus you are the liar. 14. Hypoglycemia If you suffer this, you cannot eat any high-GI foods. Oranges are a high-GI food too. 15. Termites Right, bananas don't prevent termites. To be honest, though, who buys oranges, extracts their juice and uses it to fight termites? Most people drink the juice. Besides, orange juice won't kill termites, it only drives them away for a little while. Bananas have many more practical uses than that that people DO use, such as making people you dislike slip up. 16. Florida Florida has oranges. The whole world has bananas. They are not specific to any state or continent. Florida are known as big banana lovers too, by the way. 17. Bananas can't be stored as long That's OK because bananas grow all year round, unlike oranges. Therefore bananas don't need to be stored as long and are therefore always fresher. My opponent STILL has no responses to my analysis that bananas are there for all countries, that bananas can be enjoyed in more ways than oranges (so they never get boring), smart people eat them, bananas hate your enemies too, the Gods favor bananas, bananas have been by our side for as long as anyone can remember and that the banana plant has a multitude of other uses. I think he's overwhelmed by the power of bananas. I've already commented on how bananas are better than oranges in terms of uses and health benefits. What more can I say? Bananas are simply perfect! Easy to eat, great for you, full of flavor and enjoyed around the world. Everybody loves bananas! With that, I conclude this round.
