Honey, I'm so disappointed!


Last time I grocery shopped, I picked up some more honey because I had run out, and I like to use honey as my sweetener. I grabbed the one in the little "bear" jar and felt thankful that I had remembered to pick it up. After using about half of it, Austin says to me, "Hey mom, this honey has MSG in it."

I took the bear from him and it was then that I noticed my error. The name of the honey was called "Texas Honey Blend". It was NOT raw honey, just packaged to look like it was. I didn't even know they made such a thing as "honey blend". Immediately I turned over the bear to see what his ingredients were and, to my disappointment, it read: high fructose corn syrup, sugar, honey, corn syrup, natural flavor (which may or may not actually contain MSG-my words, not theirs), caramel color.

The reason I buy honey in the first place is so that I can put one less artificial thing in my body. I was opting for something "God"-made, not man-made. Honey is sweet enough as it is. Why add sugar and all that other goop? Grrrr. I won't make that mistake again.
