Agreed, but can we still point and laugh at folk who buy Manuka honey?

Global consumption: 10000 tons p/a. Amount of manuka honey made in New Zealand: 1700 tons p/a

There's something about honey that strikes some people as innately magical, and not in the "Wow, this stuff was literally siphoned out of flowers by insects, millilitre by millilitre, and took 55,000 flight miles per jar" way. Decades after it was discovered that honey is unsafe for babies because it can contain botulism spores, you can still find stuff like this (shame on you, Guardian, this is still in your Science section, a decade after I and a lot of other people pointed out that it was at least mildly demented):

It's used in the veterinary industry to help promote wound healing, I'm sure I had an article about it but I think it's behind a paywall.

I wish fish and chip shops still just wrapped food in paper. These days they all seem to use boxes, so the more other stuff you order, the less chips you get.

That's because you're Australian, Tiggum. We still do good fish and chips in the UK. Well, at least in the North we do.

Hey, I live in Australia and I still get fish and chips in a paper wrapper.

But do you get those anaemic looking abominations? Or do you get proper chunky chip-shop chips?

Wait pasteurised bones, as in sterilised? I'm not sure of the steps of making bone broth but does boiling them in water come in at some point. Wouldn't that have much the same effects as pasteurising them?

These are not clever people.

Go team pineapple! I just wish the shells were easier to deal with. Get on it, Monsanto!

It's not shell, it's skin!

It's standing in the way between me and the part I want to eat. That's all that matters.

True courage is eating the skin as well.

I would eat the gently caress out of both of those meals, possibly at the same time.

Boy, it's almost like experiences you take for granted aren't shared amongst the entire human race! How amazing.

It's probably a good thing that you wouldn't eat that pile of food, you've got more than enough salt coursing through your veins to last you a lifetime.
