Do we really know that  "Honey Analog" is difficult to detect?
We better find out! If it is not it is no more of as threat or perhaps
less than some of the other sweetener adulterants? If it is more
difficult to detect I suggest packers better think about getting on the
beekeepers/producers bandwagon. There are a lot of people, perhaps not
the majority, who realize the benefits of  'HONEY' that I believe will
search out sources they can be most assured of getting the real thing and
I suspect it will not be from supermarket shelves. And for the casual
purchaser that discovers they are being hoodwinked they  will likely go
for some of these other pretty colored and variously flavored spreads and
syrups. Again if this substance is extremely difficult to detect I think
we should consider alerting the public that this stuff does exist and it
may be being unknowingly consumed as honey, one might say a reverse
publicity campaign?
        What is the business ethic that enjoys of feels it necessary to
deceive the consumer?
 
        Does anyone know if the Nat. Honyboard subscribes to this list? I
think it would be appropriate to foward alot of this conversation to
them, in particular the post of  Garth Cambray  regarding detection.
