The idea that beekeepers need to "educate' the public is a very old idea --
one that won't go away -- but the public is fickle. The information is
available, it is up to the public what they want to do with it. The NY Times
Magazine had a long article on Jan 28 about how our food has been ruined by
nutritional science. 

QUOTE:

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. That, more or less, is the short
answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of
what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy. I hate to give
away the game right here at the beginning of a long essay, and I confess
that I’m tempted to complicate matters in the interest of keeping things
going for a few thousand more words. I’ll try to resist but will go ahead
and add a couple more details to flesh out the advice. Like: A little meat
won’t kill you, though it’s better approached as a side dish than as a main.
And you’re much better off eating whole fresh foods than processed food
products. That’s what I mean by the recommendation to eat "food."
