I found that sourcream and a little brown sugar went a long way to eliminating Syrup. I REALLY like to dip strawberries in some sourcream, then add a little bit of brown sugar. What a tasty treat on Sunday morning...

The only thing I will add is that eating maple syrup is basically the same thing as eating sugar. I can't see the point in going to all this trouble to try to eat healthy, but at the same time making an effort to accommodate your children's "need" to eat syrup every day. Make maple syrup a weekend treat and use the good stuff.
Honey is good for one, though. Bee vomit. Enzymes. Good.

As far as your body is concerned it's all sugar. And the enzymes are only in raw honey as they can't survive heat.

Thanks everyone, lots of good information here. Dialing it down it sounds like the focus should primarily be on beef, chicken, milk, eggs and butter...
Don't forget nuts or any oils. Basically there's a theme here. Anything that takes nature lots of resources to form, i.e. the rich foods (those defined by fats...the most energy dense form of nutrition in nature).

anyone who believes honey (including "organic" honey is pesticide and antibiotic (they treat the bees) free is deep in denial.

First, I admit that I'm feeling very grumpy and having one of those days where not only is my glass half empty but everybody else's looks that way, too. So, instead of having anything useful to add on the subject of this thread, I will say that I found it "very interesting" that in a thread a bit down on the page you posted about your new toy (the iPod Touch) and in this thread you're complaining about the price of food for your children. You also seem to have plenty of money for things for the house, a convertible, and beer making.
Priorities?

Hi AlphaDog, sorry to hear you are having a difficult day. I certainly hope it gets better.
I think answering any of your money concerns would just be fueling an unnecessary conflict. Suffice it to say I would never skimp on anything my kids needed. Wincing at food that costs double to triple normal prices is a pretty normal reaction in my opinion though. That's why I came here to see if it would really be worth it or if I would simply be throwing money away.

I certainly hope that you only use the finest organic ingredients for beermaking and fueling your car.

I think this is a case where the 80/20 rule would apply.

That about sums it up.
