Sorry. Carried away there. Really though, this seems like a ridiculous plot from a bad movie, where the drug bust went bad and now the complacent corporations are getting sued for negligence. Not surprisingly, the NPR take on the US-side of the scandal says certain American honey vendors are now being prosecuted under criminal charges. Read more in the Wired article on the whiz-bang-wow astrolomy equipment being used to detect the fake honey.
It's bad enough the bees are endangered, but now this? The industry can't seem to catch a break. Nothing like a little market dumping and price manipulation to sour the sweetener. Which makes me wonder...if the money/price issue wasn't really of concern, would we have even caught this counterfeit activity at all? Awesome. One more thing to worry about when you see the "Made in China" label. Or will it be "Made in China Thailand?"
