> rare and seasonal in nature I don't know what else to add. You've gone too far off the path. It's pretty simple what OP wrote. Makes a person think about nat

  You know what it makes me think? You're chasing extremely marginal gains in life expectancy. Yes, there's a good chance that in the caveman days I would only have had honey in rare circumstance when I found a good beehive and had time to process it. It would have been consumed fairly quickly unless I had extremely advanced levels of time preference and self control. I also would probably have been dead by my mid-30s. Now, I can get high quality, delicious, dark local honey - a year's supply at a tablespoon a day, more than you need - for less than what the average HN poster makes in an hour. I don't eat that much of it, usually just use it as a maple syrup substitute for a nice weekend breakfast, and should be able to live until my 80s as long as I keep in shape with some basic exercise on a regular basis. > You've gone too far off the path. What path, friend? Where is the path? Where are the markings, and who put them there? There is no path.

    > What path, friend? A person says, "honey seems like a rare seasonal treat in nature for most humans. Should we be eating a lot of it?". Same question gets asked about soy, gluten, beef, etc. It's more of a nutrition observation. It just seems like you missed the whole spirit of the thought.
