Which were selectively bred, by humans, for consumption by humans.

It gets better than that: after being called on this particular egregious piece of bullshit, Comfort's response was to edit out the banana part of his video and call attention to an earlier, equally fallacious comment about coke cans being designed. He then proceeded to claim that those mean atheists had taken him out of context and misrepresented his point, before restating the original fallacious position, sans banana.
The last I saw of that argument, the guy was using it solely as a joke, with no mention of the time he used it as a serious piece of evidence for god.
Edit: whoops, never mind, that's all present in the last link.
