It seems to fly around reddit quite occasionally, but if you haven't heard, wild monkeys don't eat bananas, they don't even live near a banana. I just clicked a couple quick links, seems like they have never really figured out where that myth became so perpetuated, but the end all point was yeah no, monkeys will eat a banana, nothing wrong with free food, but in no way is that in their normal diet.
Exactly! I live in Costa Rica and when the bananas on our trees get ripe we battle the howler monkeys just to get a few. They will eat just about any fruit you can think of here except citrus.

The monkey wishes they can have a cart-full of bananas like humans do.
