At first, I thought he had listened to too much Rush, then I thought he was trying to protect Canadians, then I realized he was protecting syrup. God save the waffles...

Vt. Sen. Leahy to seek maple protection law

Leahy's proposal would create a new federal felony offense and increase the sentences that prosecutors can seek for people who defraud consumers and farmers by intentionally mislabeling maple products.

Leahy, a Democrat, announced his plan at the same time he was announcing the state had received a $70,000 federal grant to help market Vermont maple syrup.

ummm, not that it's a huge amount of money, but does Vermont really need help marketing their maple syrup???

mmmmmmmmmmm, waffles

Its fraud. It should be a crime. Especially since the fake stuff is HFCS!!!!

This. Although I did find a good happy-medium which is ~40% Maple Syrup, 60% Cane Sugar Syrup. No HFCS if I can help it.



(which, of course I can't. It's even in the freakin' bread I eat......)

There's plenty of bread out there without HFCS. Pretty much the only time that I eat HFCS (that I know of) is in ketchup when I go out.

I'm on board with this, I only eat real maple syrup although not usually from Vermont...other states have maple trees too. Real maple syrup is and fake syrup is
