Part 1 of WTF......I don't understand the world and it scares me.
Topic: Society 2:18 pm EDT, Sep 25, 2013

The Honey Launderers: Uncovering the Largest Food Fraud in U.S. History- Americans consume more honey than anyone else in the world, nearly 400 million pounds every year. About half of that is used by food companies in cereals, bread, cookies, and all sorts of other processed food. Some 60 percent of the honey is imported from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and other trading partners. Almost none comes from China. After U.S. beekeepers accused Chinese companies of selling their honey at artificially low prices, the government imposed import duties in 2001 that as much as tripled the price of Chinese honey. Since then, little enters from China legally.

I have become more concerned recently about how clueless we are about what is in our food :P
