No money, no honey...as the saying goes? I really wonder how such ideas get so commonly known and stated...and now I have come to realize why: Money.
The drive for some people to get [money] is so powerful that such expressions will permeate the media and the minds of the public that they become "truth" in their eyes. Just as the German propaganda machine knew that "tell a lie big enough and long enough that people will succumb to it as being true."
The fact of the matter is that nature provides many things that are needed for life to exist. No money is needed or required to enjoy it. Unfortunately those with the power of greed (so sweet it is) have overtook the world by storm so that all (or getting very close to being all) the wholesome and natural elements that the planet has (had) are now fee based or are beginning to be charged a fee.
Yes, convenience is one issue regarding access to various products, foods, and conveniences in life. What one needs to consider is that there is a difference between truth and fiction...and if one loses the ability to distinguish the difference then one is being mislead.
Consider the fact the most US honey is not actually honey...it is HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) or sugar flavored and colored with a hint of the real thing in it. Not only are the consumers paying for nature's free product but also they are buying a fake one on top of that...and they blame it on China! Well ladies and gentlemen, it takes a true businessman and marketer to sell a fake product and market it as real.
Perhaps sooner, rather than later, man will finally realize the concept of money and that its function needs reconsideration for the sake of humanity, honey.
