Full Idea
The second worry for Stage Theory is that there are far too many bananas in the world on this account.

A Reaction
The point is that each (instantaneous) stage is considered to be a whole banana (as opposed to one sum of all the stages of the banana, in the Perdurance view). A pretty serious problem, which she tries to deal with.
