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

[Monorea]

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

[Monorea]

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

[Tohopekaliga]

Fair enough.

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

[Tas]

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.

[Monorea]

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.

[Monorea]

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.

[Glitch]

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.

[Glitch]

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

[Monorea]

Go to Italian restaurants instead perhaps?
or maybe Greek?

[littl3chocobo]

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

[Glitch]

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.
