It was so funny that I didn't want to know the truth. Someone once answered to an anecdote I told him: "I don't believe it's true. However, it could have been true."Borg said:I went straight to snopes and was going to post the same thing. It sounded too good to be true.

Yes, we have exactly the same information! It frustrates me so much. Because I want to buy local honey and there's even our national symbol on it, but at the same time there's this ridiculous sentence!fresh_42 said:I have another one that's bothering me. But I can't point to an internet page.
The small print on most honeys you can buy here says: "produced from honey from EU states and non-EU states".
Do they really use a three-valued logic? I cannot believe there is so much smartness in the Brussels administration.
So what do they want to tell me? That it's terrestrial honey? Not produced in the oceans?
@Sophia Would you mind to have a look on yours and tell me?
Exactly why I discovered it. I wanted to avoid Chinese honey, possibly polluted or cut with sugared water, as well as I wanted to keep the transportation routes short and support local beekeepers. I wouldn't mind to buy it from somewhere else in the EU, but from anywhere uncontrolled?!Sophia said:Yes, we have exactly the same information! It frustrates me so much.

The best way is if you know the beekeepers personally. There are two of them in my town but they only make enough for their family and friends, so they don't sell anything.fresh_42 said:Exactly why I found it out at all.

That's not the point. It's the typical American attitude that disturbs.nsaspook said:Right, like these guys could compete in a World series game. http://www.worldbaseballclassic.com/
It is the world’s premier baseball event with the top talent from those countries as past, present and future players.
I think that he's being a bit facetious. If you dig around nsaspook's post, you'll see that Japan and Cuba have frequently beaten the U.S.fresh_42 said:That's not the point. It's the typical American attitude that disturbs.
