While I can't disagree with you on your point about the adulteration of
honey by importers.    And the idea of eating rat guts isnt appetizing to
me.   It is impossible to not crush bees in the process of harvesting honey.
What you have understand is that bee's dont eat the same things that rats
eat and all honey is filtered very finely.  Secondly honey doesnt mix will
with other semi-liquids such as bee parts so the filtration removes almost
all of it.   I hope that this clears up your questions about that.
 
As for who are they protecting?   The Communist Chinese have broken our
polical campaign finance laws (along with Clinton and Gore).  Who knows what
influence they have purchased with the USDA which comes under the purvue of
the Clinton administration as a result.
