Hey Hey! I need to eat more fruit and vegetables and crap, because I have high b/p. But I get nervous when I eat a banana. I don't like it if dudes are around- I don't want 'em to see me eating a banana. How can I avoid being so nervous/self-conscious about eating a banana?
I think I get nervous because a banana is a phallic-shaped food (dood). I feel like a gay homosexual whenever this happens. I hate it when I see a dude eating a banana- it makes me cringe. But I like it when I see a girl eating a banana. You don't see that hardly ever any moe.
LOL- did you see that episode of THE SIMPSONS when Maude went to the concession stand, and just before she went, she told Ned "I know, don't get any footlong hotdogs, since they make you uncomfortable". LOL!

First of all, get over your cringe factor of eating it in public. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a guy eating a banana. It's a piece of fruit. Sure it looks phallic but do you think everyone who eats a banana will instantly think of dirty thoughts whenever they eating it? Um...I don't think so.
So if you say that you need more vegetables & fruit intake, then, you have to overcome your silly thinking & just eat it. There's absolutely nothing gay about eating a banana in front of another guy. Just think, that person who's eating it is getting nutritional value whilst you're cringing at him secretly.
So what are the health benefits of bananas?
-bananas contain no fat, sodium or cholesterol
-rich in vitamin B6
-a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium.
The potassium found in bananas helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Potassium is also essential for helping muscles to contract properly during exercise and reduces cramping up. A medium-sized banana provides 400 mg of potassium -11% of daily value- and contains 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber. Bananas also contain plenty of carbohydrates which are the body's main source of energy.
-they can also serve as a substitute for sweets and satisfy sugar cravings
-serotonin and norepinephrine in bananas may naturally help sufferers overcome depression. They are the good mood food.
-a good post-exercise snack. During long exercises your body loses vitamins and minerals and a banana replaces these nutrients as well as giving

Banana is just a banana. A piece of fruit. Do you avoid cabbage or anything else that has a round form, because it resembles a human head? I don't think so.
Maybe you should try to watch/read something else besides porns. That could be of some help.

Best way to eat fruit is to slice it and out over your breakfast cereal or in a fruit smoothie drink with yogurt, honey and ice if the fruit isn't already frozen.
I think bananas are a good source of potassium and more filling than other fruit. You can eat it by breaking pieces off and eating it instead of holding the whole thing to your mouth.

Look, no one is going to think you are a homosexual if you eat a banana. Now if you suck on it and eat in in a very provocative manner, then maybe people probably will, but if you eat it normally, people are going to have to be hardcore homophobics to have the reaction you are afraid.
If you absolutely, cannot bring yourself to eat a banana, then get a smoothie or something like that.

I hear you man. They say that a dude could never look cool eating a banana no matter how hard you try. The best thing to do is to cut it up, or mash it before you eat it. Cause it really is good for you. Not too much though. You're not the only one who feels that way, trust me!!!

Chop up the banana into slices, then it won't have that disturbing shape.
Ooh! And after slicing it, put them in the freezer. They taste so good frozen, like candy. I know it sounds weird, but trust me, it's good.
OK now I'm going to eat the banana that I brought for a snack. Hah.

You could eat the bananas for breakfast before you leave your home, and then less people would see you eating them. Also you could cut it up into slices and eat it in cold cereal, then it wouldn't be in the same shape/form.

maybe you're Gay and not out of the closet yet. It's just food sweetie. Nobody's gonna look at you like you're weird. Unless you're eating the banana like it's not a fruit.

I really think maybe you have homosexual issues. Maybe you are and you can't come to terms with it. You don't have to eat bananas, try an apple, mango, peach, pineapple, etc. If you have to, I guess you could mash it up and eat it like baby food or pudding.
