Before I give any further explanation, I must know-
If you were to punctuate this sentence with commas would you do it like this:
A) I like to eat apples, bananas, and oranges. (comma after 'banana' before 'and')
OR
B) I like to eat apples, bananas and oranges. (no comma after 'banana' before 'and')
Thanks! This is a matter of dire importance. Well, as far as punctuation goes of course...

I do think that I'd put the comma after bananas before the and.
I was taught no comma. So there you go... still a dilemma.
I always use the commas before the and if you have a list of things. That's also what I teach my students.
I always thought that was called a serial comma. Same thing as Oxford?I do know that it is omitted most often in journalism.
LOL! I think if I were writing that sentence I'd use B. Don't know if that's correct but that's what I would use. :o)
"A", final answer.
