All these products on the shelf which use the name honey, yet have none
or very little honey  in the product, need to be held accountable.  I do
recall when soy or rice beverages had used the word "milk" on the label
of their product.   The dairy associations took action and had their
word, milk removed from any such products not containing real milk.  In
the near future, popular products such as "cheese whiz" might have to
remove cheese from their label.  Our beekeeping industry doesn't seem to
have any associations with the power, money, or inclination to protect
honey producers from such fraud.  The food industries are laughing all
the way to the bank, at least at us honey producers.
