Post #388,759 by Andrew Grygus 4/18/14 9:20:27 PM Reply	Well, here it was just presumed . . . . . regulations weren't needed - until food processors and distributors started importing their honey for China, since it was cheaper. Some Chinese "honey" has never had any relationship with bees, and most of the rest is heavily cut with cheaper sweeteners. Australia is closer to China, perhaps you've already been through that.
Post #388,760 by static 4/18/14 9:29:35 PM Reply	I really don't know. Most honey I see in the supermarket is "proudly Australian" and has been so for decades, so that may be a factor. Besides, Australians like our gourmet honey industry. :-) Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/
Post #388,765 by static 4/19/14 4:53:36 AM Reply	Checked in the supermarket this afternoon. It turns out that all the honey is Australian honey! I don't think importing Chinese "honey" is going to work for Aussie consumers. Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.Â -- Isaac Asimov
Post #388,799 by Andrew Grygus 4/20/14 1:19:24 PM Reply	Peanut Butter is marketd mostly for children . . . . . so like other child favorites, like ketchup and jelly (goes with peanut butter), it's heavily loaded with sugar. Laura Scudders Natural is the only peanut butter I've seen that's suitable for use in recipes. Now when I was a tiny child (back in the Paleozoic) my preference was for bar soap. My mother gave me lolly pops to distract me from that, but I preferred soap. Haven't tried it in recent times, but then, soap just isn't the same these days anyway.
