Maple Syrup Shortage

Welp, the fake shit is just fine for me I guess.

it's bad for you; tricks your body into wanting more.. if you eat real food your body recognizes it..food for me now is actually part of my medical protocol.

I don't eat it often. If anything the creamer for my coffee makes me get those cravings.

i remember as a kid we had birch trees and used to suck on little branches.

Many breakfasts here are oatmeal (sometimes with raisins or blueberries), heavily sprinkled with cinnamon, add two tablespoons of milled golden toasted flax and two tablespoons of hemp hearts for extra flavour/protein/omega 3/essential fatty acids/micronutrients. Then add some locally sourced (bartered for two days worth of sweet potato planting labour) maple syrup and add a bit of oat milk (uses 7x less water to produce than cow/almond milk) to lower the viscosity slightly. Chase it all down with a French press coffee and you're ready to tackle any day.

With 10 maple trees, one should easily be able to produce 4 or 5 gallons of syrup annually. Yes, its a bit of work but with a production quantity that large, you wouldn't have to do it every year.

Grade B is darker and more flavorful and has more of that maple "bite" than Grade A

The same thing happens with almonds. If it can be sold, someone will try to steal it.

I spent 8hrs one day with a magnifying glass looking for nipples on a darn almond one day after seeing almond milk at Walmart
