@@trumpthis2 absolutely true… and I work with local bee keepers who sell local raw cold packed honey and save bee hives on their down time from our area. Btw… GO TRUMP! 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸
Another thing to keep in mind… honey in those plastic containers you get at the stores always have a expiration date… news flash real honey has no expiration date… so please find local cold packed raw honey in glass jars if you can!
Thankfully we have bee keepers all over where I live. We can go straight to them. Our neighbor gave us a hive and we caught a swarm this year. Now we have 2 hives and hopefully more next year. If you can search your area for a local beekeeper, see if you can buy directly from them and cut out the big name stores middle man.
Also… most raw honey isn’t typically completely clear and fluid like these are… a sure sign that they’ve been heated to pour out easier in those cute little bear containers. Most honey will have some crystallization once it settles, which is fine, because that is how it preserves itself, however, may be thicker and possibly creamier in consistency.
Love the “PROFITS Over PEOPLE” take it truly is what the United States seems to be all about corporate interests over the interests of the people that must change. Thank you to channels like yours and Dr. Bergs the change is happening and our politicians will have no choice but to play by ours rules.
You hate the US so much that you literally criticized the US on a video about China scammers. Seek help. Also, without corporate interests, you wouldn’t have grocery stores to buy food from, nor your precious honey. Even the people who honey locally are doing it for a profit. Grow up already.
I remember when I was a kid in China, the local beekeepers feed the bees with sugar water and the bees produce honey and they sell these honey as honey from local flowers
I live in Florida and to be honest the raw local honey here is just amazing! I've always tried to avoid the weird bear shaped bottles and all the cheap ones. No point in buying cheap honey with no nutrients, you'd be better off buying cane sugar!
@lyinbobbycottonseed real honey doesn't crystallize that is how you know it is real pure honey. Also all of the honey sold in stores do this. Real honey is super thick and doesn't dissolve in water easily. Real honey is so different then honey that is fake honey.
@@scholasticbookfair. doesn't sound like it actually is widely known if you read a lot of the comments. People chose to blindly believe everything this con artist says SMH
Because US food standards are low and it also cheaper to make. Why do you think Red 40 is allowed in the US but not many European countries? Money. Coke is made with corn syrup because it's cheaper. Syrup is made with corn syrup because it's cheaper. The cocoa standard for chocolate is lower than it is in European countries because of, again, money.
The brand you gave as an example of real is actually a purveyor of fake products. They have even been sued for it. I purchased that brand and immediately realized the taste and viscosity was all wrong for a purportedly raw honey.
YES: Regarding Labeling of “U.S.” products: Sadly, I read up on this: I think during this administration, FDA rules shifted on this subject (one more 3-letter agency that has led us away from safety and self-preservation, with our current foods bring 85% unhealthy). The FDA ruled that it is perfectly find to import a food from another country yet label it as a U.S. product. All you have to do? Make 1 change. Repackage it. Slice the meat in half. Trim the root. Pretty much anything. If it arrived in a crate? Remove it and package it. Garlic is a nightmare. I wondered why my palate has not been tasting the fresh, bright, full-bodied richness in a raw garlic clove. (Yes, aware there are dozens of varieties. But when you cook with an item for half a century, you can tell when it is not the same.) I saw a documentary, undercover film of garlic in China imported here. They grew it in sewer water. Then soaked then with bleach, to get them looking so white and clean. The healthy garlics growing in Gilroy, CA I recall… have mottled messy looking outer skins. They are not bright white. It has become very hard to locate healthily grown garlic. Best wishes to all. I really miss the 80’s and earlier. We had so much freedom, privacy, non-censorship, real people with actual customer service, natural fabrics and workmanship that endured, and food… there was a lot of bad stuff, foodwise… it’s just, governments were not closing in on removing sll of the good options. (Stop making it illegal to run a family farm or backyard garden!)
Bobby, I followed you from years and I am from Argentina. You should validate a bit your claims. I am not sure about China, but the Argentina Honey Industry follows high standards. You said the same about Olive Oil from Argentina. I know it must be costly but I recommend you to go there and check it out.
High Five, Bobby! I can tell most of the time. Those “honey” packets at places like Starbucks have CHANGED. Pale and tasting like light corn syrup, when years ago, they had a rich honey taste and texture. I hardly use honey anymore; but I did splurge to have a little of the real and local, actual honey on hand.
America allows high fructose corn syrup in everything. One of the many things I love about Europe when I go is I don’t have to worry about hardly anything when I’m shopping in the Continente, AB, Skabenithes, Pingo Doce, Intermarche (the best) Edeka, Carre Four, Flora, Masoutis, Franprix or Monoprix. I have seen some expired cold cuts in Spain one time. But other than that the European grocery selections are way better and healthier than in America. Also real sugar cane and slimmer cans for their soda. Tastes so much better than soda in the U.S.
For a birthday present my husband got me a huge jar of honey 🍯 from a guy lives 20 minutes away and I was very happy. It was very sweet lol it was a perfect gift at the time! Tysm There’s medicinal homeopathic medicine in having it for allergies with the plants 🌱 nearby makes a difference ❤
I am lucky enough to be able to buy it from a farmer's market and it even comes with a bit of the comb in the bottom, such a treat! I had some crystallize and it was so good on biscuits!
@@VickieMarkusicyou’re not getting my point…I’m not here ruining his app…I love his app and scan almost every item I get at grocery using his app…just like how I scanned BJs honey and they apparently are Bobby approved…but seems they could be fake going by this video…so I’m confused!
@@VickieMarkusicyou are not getting my point…I’m not trying to blow his app…I use the app every time and buy only Bobby approved stuff as much as possible just like the honey I’ve been getting which apparently is Bobby approved but sourced from two different countries
Libertarian economists argue that shoppers are "rational consumers," in other words, all-knowing, informed shoppers who know every ingredient, the sources of those ingredients, whether there are humanitarian or environmental issues with those sources, whether the ingredients are harmful to health, whether the labeling is dishonest, the track record of quality inspections of the producer, and whether you can get the item cheaper at another store. Economists are out of their f*cking minds. Consumers don't know SH*T. CONSUMERS AREN'T RATIONAL. They have no idea.
My bottle from busy bee says Raw Unfiltered Honey. The ingredients are Raw unfiltered honey. That’s it. It says traced from hive to bottle. It says you can see the flowers the bees visited. YET it has an expiration date. What the hell….
Honey, olive oil, and maple syrup I have always questioned!! I want it tested and verified to be 100%! Who tests for this Bobby? I won’t assume anything anymore. Labels are deceptive. How can we check and catch them?
I buy my honey once a year in October from a local farm that also sells pumpkins while pumpkin picking. They produced pack and sell locally based honey
Question... Then why is it still on shelfs. Boy Cot the fake honey. The teddy bear honey was questionable over 25 to 30 years ago along with Pan Cake Syrup among a lot of other things.
I live in kern County. I only buy local honey. For allergies and cooking. The store I go to is still local in the bear or mason jar. I've been to both farms
Just looked at the Kirkland branded honey I bought - Organic Raw & Unfiltered product of Brazil. 😝 The only ingredients listed though are Organic Raw Honey.
Bobby what if the company making that honey is owned by Chinese business? Couldn't they import or use syrup and still put Florida on the label cuz the factory or company's in Florida?
Trader Joe’s has the Organic Raw Honey from Brazil, roughly $6.50 for 16 oz.😊 Costco used to have the honey that comes in beeswax, which I thought was the best tasting.
