Watch out for some giant bananas ambling around the City of Hamilton this afternoon.

Volunteers dressed as the yellow fruit will be handing them out to passers-by as part of a stunt to promote next Tuesday's Argus Health Fair. They will be championing the fair's theme: 'Five Ways to Five-a-Day', which highlights the importance of eating enough servings of fruit and vegetables.

Argus president Gerald Simons said in a press release: "Visitors to the Argus booth will obtain information on the importance of eating five or more servings of fruit and vegetables a day.

"We want people to know that daily choices in nutrition can affect their lives over the long-term. A simple act, such as eating a banana, can be a step toward a healthy lifestyle."

If you want a free banana, lurk around Hamilton between noon and 2 p.m. today until you see one of the banana people.
