At a certain point we should just admit that Chinese bootleggers make better honey than the bees.
After all, it has the correct amount of water and sugar, the correct sugar composition, the correct pollen, and it all has to be cheaper than real bees otherwise they wouldn't bother.
- throwawaymobule 3y agoAs long as it's called something else, that's fine. This is France we're talking about here though, so food progeny is a thing they take quite seriously.
- aziaziazi 3y agoI second this. There’s also the nutritional side. Food makes you happy but it also keeps you healthy and honey is a nutriments bomb. Not sure about the industrial ersatz.
- saint_fiasco 3y agoThey should definitely test the honey to see if it has the correct micronutrients. That way, the Chinese will have to fortify their fake honey the same way people in other countries fortify staples like milk or flour.
- getwiththeprog 3y agoThere is no 'lab-made' fake honey. The problem with commercial honey is that the farmers take all the honey from the bees, and replace it with sugar.
