My Grandfather is a hobbyist beekeeper. He generally has around 18 to 20 active beehives and specializes in raspberry honey, as there are large raspberry fields nearby. The honey his bees produce is unlike any other I have ever tried. It's almost as if you took the smell of a blooming raspberry garden and closed it in a jar. His bees produce around 300-350kg of that honey every year and it goes for around ~20$/kg, so it's really quite expensive. But it sells out so quickly, people make reservations 2 years in advance. It's completely worth it though - the taste is amazing and it will never spoil unless you contaminate the jar.
Every summer I spend a weekend or two helping him maintain the apiary and it's such a relaxing experience. Over the last 10 years I got stung maybe a dozen times and I don't even bother with protective clothing. Bees really are precious critters and need to be protected.

I started making my own chocolate fudge sauce because all the store brands are now using high fructose corn syrup. The Aldi brand was the last one to cave. When I started buying it a few years ago, it listed just sugar, but now it has HFCS in the ingredients. I look at all labels now to avoid that ingredient in my diet. I think it’s one of major causes of the mass obesity in our country.

As a beekeeper I understand what they’re talking about when they say you have to have patience. I don’t really get much honey but when I do, it’s wonderful when I sell it to my customers and they tell me that it is the best honey that they’ve ever tasted. I didn’t even know that China was the largest producer of Honey in the world

A core problem is allowing terms such as "artificial flavor" and "natural flavor" as "ingredients" (and all their variations). A flavor, whether artificial or real, is NOT an ingredient - it is a property of an ingredient.
Edit:
I originally used the terms "artificial flavoring" and "natural flavoring", but a couple of comments pointed out that "flavoring" is not "flavor". So, I changed "flavoring" to "flavor" to be more grammatically consistent with the rest of the comment. However, "flavoring" is also used in ingredients lists, and is just as wrong.

My mom was received a rare gift of authentic extra concentrated Dominican vanilla.
It had no fillers and processed and produced in a way that it's natural sugars prevented it from going bad if fridged,
the thing was so highly concentrated if you pour more than one or two drops into the milkshake blender it was too much flavor!
I grew up with it, It lasted 10 years in my fridge, I'll probably never actually taste real vanilla ever again.

Food fraud is a sneaky and widespread issue that affects both consumers and legitimate producers. While some deceptive practices may skirt legal boundaries, others, like food fraud, are outright illegal and pose serious risks. It's astonishing to think that what we assume to be premium ingredients could be cheap substitutes, harming both the integrity of the food industry and the health of consumers.
The scale of this problem is staggering, with the global food fraud industry estimated at a whopping $40 billion. Not only does it undermine the hard work of honest producers, but it also fuels criminal activities and jeopardizes consumer trust.
However, shedding light on these deceitful practices is crucial. By understanding how food deception operates and learning to identify genuine products, we can empower ourselves to make informed choices and support ethical producers.

Anyone buying a Parmigiano shaker thinking it's real Parmigiano cheese has much bigger problems than believing their cheese is really authentic Parmigiano cheese.
