i've never tried. what is the purpose of a synthetic food when the real thing is readily available?

Well because sometimes you buy the wrong thing, they often just say honey on the bottle. Not if it's fake or not, they even have bee images and stuff on fake honey sometimes.

Fake honey?

I had no idea such a thing even existed. o.o

There isnt enough bees and bee farms for every bottle of honey to be real.

Fair enough.

I mean, it's not all that surprising, all told. I just had never considered the fact that there was fake honey.

I haven't ever seen "fake" honey but I can't imagine it would be difficult to produce. Corn syrup with some flavorings added would do the trick.

as for why, some vegans avoid honey because it's technically an animal product.

They can just use syrup in that case, you can make syrup with any kind of taste really.

The Vegans I have known use agave nectar instead of honey ouo

What you should really be careful on . . . is olive oil. A lot of the time it's only a little bit of olive oil and a lot of vegetable oil or canola oil.

BTW- Down with Canola oil. >:( I'm allergic to it, it's in everything, it is the worst.

But its easy to grow canola flowers and the seeds contains a lot of oil.
It can take a lot more heat and doesn't have much taste such as olive oil so you can easier balance the taste of your dish.

Yes but they claim it is healthy for you but in the process of turning the rapeseed into canola oil you lose all of the good health benefits.

Never heard it was healthy, it's simply a good oil and since it doesn't burn as easily and not as thick as olive oil i can use a lot less when using oil. Especially when i use a spray bottle.

I went into this chinese restaurant and they had huge banners everywhere "WE ONLY USE HEART HEALTHY CANOLA OIL" I asked if there was anything they didn't cook in canola oil and they said no and I had to leave y.y

It just makes me so sick when I eat it. T~T

Go to Italian restaurants instead perhaps?
or maybe Greek?

canola oil is not good stuff x_____x i don't buy stuff that uses it

It causes me to have crippling stomach aches almost instantly. And they last for hours. Sometimes I need to puke when I eat it.

It makes going out to eat a gamble.

well i am not surprised XD anything that is a non-food for 6 thousand years that magically becomes a healthfood is fucking sketchy to say the least XD

*googles around* *selects a few quotes*

"It’s Not as Bad as Other Veggie Oils, But Still Highly Overrated"

"Seed- and vegetable oils are generally unhealthy. Conventionally produced rapeseed/canola oil is no exception."

"Overall, canola oil is not as bad as other vegetable oils (like soybean oil), but it is still far from being healthy. You would do much better eating olive oil or coconut oil instead."

And as i said before those oils can't take as high heat when cooking and you have to use a much larger amount than canola oil.

ahahaha XD nice


i like butter. it fries well and as long as you don't buy the cheap shit with all the water in it the stuff cooks really well

My dad wont buy butter, the taste is great tho. But most often the problem is that i don't take the time to clarify it when i use butter.

I am all about the butter ouo

Real butter.

Not the butter in the tub that is 50% canola oil.

xD

boo, brown butter is good butter!


XD real butter or 2% butter with air and water added to make it spreadable?

Well if you wanna make a sandwich spreadable butter can be handy.
But yeah real butter sometimes, we don't get it often since my lil sis is lactose intolerant? allergic?
Or maybe its just that vegetabilic butter and margarine is cheaper?

alergic is swelling and hospital, intolerant is gut cramps XD

Full day of diarrhea and red dots/rash?

sounds like allergic XD sucks to be her tho' moo juice is a staple in many cultures and in my house in particular

Well it was for me too until i noticed i produce less muscus when avoiding it, i feel a lot better now due to not drinking it. Im not intolerant or anything tho.
Still eat lots of cheese tho but aged cheese doesn't contain lactose so my lil sis can eat it too.

have you considered trying non-homogenized? it helped my mother in law drink milk without to much gut pain

I was pregnant one time, and i became lactose intolerant for a bit --- it was the worst.

interesting thing about lactose intolerance. It's actually normal for mammals to become lactose intolerant in adulthood; most mammals stop producing the enzyme necessary to process lactose (called lactase) as soon as they stop drinking their mother's milk. However, some human populations developed a genetic trait that causes lactase to continue to be produced throughout adulthood, specifically those populations that harvested milk from farm animals.

some populations that never harvested milk, particularly in Asia, are almost entirely lactose intolerant.

meant to say mucus not music *facepalm* and the kind of milk doesn't really matter. And there isnt anything wrong, increased mucus production is a natural reaction to milk. Only reason it is a problem for me is that my throat and nose doesnt work "correctly" it gets stuck in the wrong places and stuff.

oh XD when you said 'music' i thought you meant flatulence, hahaha that is what i hear it called here so i assumed you meant you had digestion issues

Nah it was just another slip where my hands wrote something different than what my mind wanted.

no worries~


so, hello<3 how are you?

Still sick with the flu, im even more sick now.

grosso, can you rest or is that not in the cards?

I am resting, doesn't help much at the moment.

i offer both sympathy and sodabread as consolation

Whenever i hear soda bread i think of bread with something like coca-cola in it XD

nah, it is a bread with holes like swiss cheese!
