  9. Who's smarter about food, China's consumers or America's?

    Years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration imposed tariffs on imported <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/206463151.html">Chinese honey</a> because China was dumping cheap, sometimes tainted, honey on the market and threatening the viability of U.S. apiaries. And for years, Chinese producers have gotten around the tariffs by routing honey through other countries, mislabeling it &mdash; and while they're at it, watering it down or cutting it with cheap sweeteners such as high-fructose corn syrup &mdash; and covering their tracks by filtering the honey so much that they remove all the pollen, making it almost impossible to track its origins. Studies by a Texas A&amp;M scientist have found that about three-fourths of the honey sold in this country isn't what you think of as honey, though it might be slapped with a label claiming it's a product of the U.S.A.
