Kyle, you've twice (at least) written about Chiquita Bananas in a not approving way, and yet fail to "mention" they overthrew (not very indirectly) the Guatemalan democratically elected government when Jacobo Arbenz attempted to homestead act fallow banana land.

p.s. they are still doing it, well recently according to the below:

p.s. Note as is often the case the result of the evil axis (US) is blowback **. Arbenz was a latifundista not particularly radical. Keep in mind the post
Arbenz history. Is the US going to continue interfering in Latin America? e.g. overthrow Evo and Hugo?
