Product of the week - Imitation honey

Another Walmart special. I saw the jar on the shelf whilst looking for real honey and wandered what was going on. Who would buy imitation honey when the real stuff is sitting just next to it? Diabetics it would seem. So there is a legitimate use for this product, check out this website for more information http://www.imitationhoney.com/info.html Maltose syrup (a corn product) is the main ingredient and it seems that this products tastes similar to honey but has a lower sugar content and hence good for diabetics. Who knew? Go imitation honey!

By the way we have been in the US for 6 months now!

There is also another group of people that are interested in 'imitation' honey. . .

VEGANS!

'Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals'
