Buy local honey, it’s supposed to help you against local allergies.

Personally, I try to buy all my food Made in the USA.
God help us if (when?) we become dependent for our food.

Local honey is MUCH better for you. We started buying local honey two years ago and never went back. It’s only anecdotal, but I swear my allergies are not as bad this year as they have been in years past.

We’re trillions of dollars in the hole and he’s worried about a couple million dollars.
At least he’s helping his constituents.

I thought this was going to be an article on how members of Congress hide and pay off their mistresses.

Actually, it’s probably full of pollutants, considering the rest of the stuff China sends us. Good for Chuckie.

Can’t Schumer focus on important things like regulating college football and nasal spray restrictions.

I’m glad he’s doing this.
The domestic honey industry is being destroyed by the Red Chinese fraudulent practices.

From what I have learned, there is no such thing as an allergy to honey—it would be like being allergic to sugar. Honey can make you throw-up if you eat too much in a sitting, but allergies—I don't believe it. The warnings required to be placed on honey really goes to infants, and it is not the honey, but the possible minute amounts of an organism which can be transferred from equipment to the top of the honey if the honey processor is extremely sloppy. Just a little input from a beekeeper. As to the Chinese honey, it is crap. Here in Fl, we are the first to push the state to regulate honey imports because the Chinese honey has been tainted with antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, and mixed with corn syrup.

This article is a reminder of investigative reports from the 2001 - 2003 era when the honey trade was cited as having been a method of funding for the terrorists
see . A google search of "honey" and "terrorism" turns up other such info. Guess such a sweet and simple subject can sometimes have stickier implications.
