>recipe calls for maple syrup
>use honey instead

Why use maple syrup when honey is more easily available and more versatile?

[Anonymous No.18743994]

Because they taste completely different lol. That's like saying "why use oregano when you could use basil?"

You're getting corn syrup either way. Either from the quebec mafia or the chinese mafia. So why not just go with corn syrup in the first place?

You're telling my that the Chinese are sneaking onto my property and filling my sap buckets with diluted corn syrup to trick me?

For that syrupy, mapley taste, of course.
Honey is what I call your mother

honey has a higher fructose percentage in it than HFCS
maple syrup ranges a lot depending on the grade but it generally has a higher glucose content than it's fructose content

Brown sugar tastes better imo.

It's easier to drink maple syrup

How did the canadian maple syrup lobby mind gain mind control power in America? I remember in school, we were shown "educational" videos of people making the syrup, focused on how much liquid has to be boiled down to make a little tiny bottle. In the child's mind then, it makes sense that maple syrup costs a fortune, and they carry this idea into adulthood.

I never questioned this, until a Canadian economist told me that it's actually just that supply is manipulated by a cartel. Then suddenly I realized it's actually an extremely easy product to produce. Whereas something like gasoline involves building megastructures in the ocean and giant tanker ships yet comes out more than 5x cheaper than maple syrup.

I would guess that the number of people involved to produce a gallon of gasoline is much fewer than the number of people involved to produce a gallon of maple syrup. Those giant rigs probably have a few hundred people on them and produce a few million barrels per year. Yet a maple syrup farm would have a dozen people and produce a few hundred gallons per year. I have no idea if I'm in the right order of magnitude for any of those guesses but I'm pretty sure the general idea I'm saying is right. That would explain why gasoline can be cheaper than syrup, it needs a much smaller profit margin to pay the salary of everyone involved

Oil extraction and refining is heavily subsidized by the government in most countries.
Depending on where you live its likely you're paying hundreds to thousands of dollars a year in oil and gas subsidies.
