Maybe you've seen a very funny YouTube video in which two vegan brothers plead with us NOT to say that we won't eat honey. They're afraid people will think we're fanatics and dismiss everything else we say.
They urge us NOT to eat honey but also not to SAY we don't.

I've been curious about reasons for not eating honey, and this is what I found from Nil Zacharia's One Green Planet today:
.
Bees are a huge part of our ecosystem, pollinating 71 of the 100 crops that provide 90% of most of the world's food. Imagine no almonds, fewer apples and strawberries, and worse, no coffee or chocolate.
In just two days, the Austin City Council will vote on a resolution that would ban bee-killing pesticides from use on city lands. With roughly one third of our precious pollinators dying off each and every year, we know that they need all the help they can get, and this would be a great step in the right direction.
Add your voice right now to help save the bees.
The resolution would also drastically limit the use of dangerous chemicals with links to cancer like glyphosate and chlorpyrifos, a clear victory for consumers and public health.
By signing our petition in support of this resolution, you are a part of a pro-consumer, pro-public health movement that is working to make Texas better. It is with your help that we can advance an agenda that benefits each and every one of us.
It still leaves me with the question of what's wrong with honey from bees that have been protected from pesticides
Anyway, here's the link to the petition:
