The attractive 21-year-old university student has been planning to do a banana diet for some time now, but she can’t get started — and not for lack of trying. “I keep going to OK Store, my local supermarket every single day,” she says. “In fact, I’ve just been there. There are no bananas on the shelves, and it’s been like that for a month.”
