If it sez China on the bag it stays in the store
I am very aware of farm raised and would probably eat ocean caught vs farm if I had to.Dont have to eat either
Numbers? Baselines? You can grab a potatoe ;-) and it will set off a $600 geiger counter. I am not going to be panicking over this.
Are you sure? Do you eat any US products that contain honey, like honey wheat bread, honey mustard, honey graham crackers, etc.? If so, there is a huge chance that they contain cheap honey from China.
China is the largest producer of honey in the world, but much of China’s honey production is tainted with pesticides, antibiotics, and heavy metal contamination. Chinese honey was banned from the European Market by the EU in 2002.
Only 48 percent of honey used here in processed food is American made. So the odds are most of the remaining honey used is coming directly or indirectly from China.
The govt knows they just don’t want you to know. We stopped eating seafood a week after Fukashima. Have not touched even a can of tuna. Now we are looking at getting a small handheld geiger counter to take to the store to test produce prior to purchase. A lot of stuff is coming from CA.
I see an opportunity here for US farm grown seafood to explode into the market place. Unfortunately, I don’t have the business savvy (I’m an IT tech guy) to know where to get started for funding a start up. It seems like the only way banks will loan money to a business is if they already are up and running.
Any advice from the Freeper community on how to get a start-up funded?
Alberta has high levels of radon gas. She probably was measuring background radon in her home.
Advice: corner the network setup linking customer to the producer. :>)
You a cisco guy?
My brother raises bees as a hobby. Fresh honey is barely like grocery store, processed honey. Not even close, really.
So my question is - how did the carp get infected?
Are there salt water carp? Or estuary?
Hmmm. Apparently so. I thought they were strictly a freshwater fish.
I’d heard about the China honey, but never gave a thought about the processed foods having it. We pretty much stay away from processed foods, but we do -from time to time - buy whole wheat honey bread. Not any more!
We get our honey from a local beekeeper, who’s been in the area for years. Big difference from store bought honey.
You are absolutely right about that! Hubby and I are hobbyist beekeepers. We use NO harsh chemicals or antibiotics in our 50 hives and we do not process our honey, it's pure 100% as taken from the hive.
My point was not that "honey" in processed food is bad..... my point was that "honey from China" is bad and most processed food in the USA is unfortunately using poison honey from China in their foods. Therefore you can't always count on not eating food from China just because the label says it is processed in the USA.
Processed honey might not necessarily be bad, but compared to the real thing it barely tastes like honey
I don’t consume honey .
“but compared to the real thing it barely tastes like honey”
That’s because it rarely IS honey. Much of the grocery store honey you buy these days is faked.
Might as well call it “Flavored Corn Syrup”.
I have noticed that in breakfast restaurants and chicken restaurants, those little packets of imitation honey. It isn’t even a barely passable imitation
Pfft! A little radiation is good for the genetic evolution of a species. Remember “Sanctuary” from Starship Troopers? :-)
Not that there is anything wrong with what you said, t1b8zs....... but I am just curious as to why not?
I dont do sweet stuff,never have.Dont eat sugary deserts,frostings etc.Maybe at holiday time,big maybe.
The only thing I do use is Molasses every now and then on oatmeal,with yogurt and a banana.
I have a jar of honey from the bee guy up the road thats been sitting for years.
