Granted, but that's not what that website says. It says:

Myth: Curved bananas
Bananas must not be excessively curved.

This is a lie. The claim is not a myth. And that is one of the problems I have with the EU and those who would promote it. They find it very difficult to be proud of what they are trying to achieve and to be honest about how they are going about it. If the EU is so good, why don't they stand up and say, 'Hey, we made a rule about curved bananas, and it's just as well we did, because ...[insert reason here]'? Instead, they sulk in the corner, and grumble, 'It's a myth that bananas must not be excessively curved', which is palpably
not true.
