This is where my data comes from...

(Specialized catalog)

"100 calories can power a cyclist for three miles; 100 calories can
power a car 280 feet"

And since a banana has roughly 100 calories, then you can go 3 miles
per banana.

But if you drive a car to the supermarket, then you can only run 1
block...

So after making sure all my numbers are correct, I'm off to work on my
next t-shirt...

"I get 3 miles per banana, do you?"

You have got to allow for the diesel burned by the ship from Trinidad as
well.

Maybe it came by sailing ship.

I think boating can easily go energy free. Zero calories.- Hide quoted text -

And I should add that shipping would work against cars since most of
the oil comes from the Middle East/Africa.

Anyway, calories can come from local sources like corn. I like it corn-
on-the-cob.
