Genetically Engineered Honey?

from Deconstructing Dinner

Honey – one of the most natural foods. In the supermarket, honey is found labelled as coming from clover, buckwheat, alfalfa or maybe orange blossom. The label might just read 'honey' without any indication of its source of nectar. But is the nectar source even important to those of us wishing to become more conscientious eaters? As Deconstructing Dinner has discovered, there is a curiosity surrounding honey – a curiosity, which has rarely, if ever, been spoken…. until now! It turns out, in Canada, 80% of all the honey produced in the country is from the nectar of canola – yet, nowhere on the grocery store shelves do we ever see honey labelled as "canola honey". And so the question becomes – just where is all that canola honey ending up?  Features  Vaughn Bryant, Professor, Texas A&M University (College Station, TX) Brian Campbell, Certified Master Beekeeper, Blessed Bee Farm (Richmond, BC) Jill Clark, Spokesperson, True Source Honey (Lancaster, PA)
