Why U.S. School Kids Are Flunking Lunch

I love that answer: "cheese from the cheese maker". Sure, if that's how you want to define "comes from" then honey from bees.

I prefer to define "comes" differently, and I most definitely want to argue "that there's a continuum".

As an aside "enhanced evaporation" just means blow air on it - that's enough to quality the bee as the honey maker?

Partial digestion means add some enzymes that break up the sugar. Again, it doesn't seem like much to me since I could do that too with saliva.

But I can't replicate what the flower does, and to me that makes the flower the most important.

You're confusing the raw material (nectar) with the finished product (honey). There's a lot that goes on during processing. But they're clearly not the same thing.
