Fla. honey rule ensures purity of the sweet nectar


TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Anyone in Florida who tries to pass off honey as 100 percent pure when it has additives or other ingredients could find themselves in a sticky situation.

Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles Bronson announced Monday that honey that has additives and chemicals in it must be clearly labeled as a blended product. Consumers must be told what else is in the honey.

Bronson says says that in the past, honey has sometimes been cut with water or sugar, or been contaminated with insecticides and antibiotics.

The regulation takes effect Tuesday and prohibits honey labeled as pure cannot contain anything other than the "natural food product resulting from the harvest of nectar by honeybees."

(This version that honey with other ingredients can only be sold if all additives are listed on label.)

Stupid News-Rabbis rule joking teens legally married


JERUSALEM (Reuters) – An Israeli girl has become a divorcee at the age of 14.

It all began as a lark, in a schoolyard where a 17-year-old boy recently declared the girl his wife, reciting a Jewish ritual vow in front of witnesses, and she accepted his ring.

That, and what a spokeswoman for Israel's Rabbinical Courts said was the consummation of their marriage, was enough to make them man and wife in the Jewish state.

Spokeswoman Efrat Orbach, describing the girl as the youngest Jewish divorcee in Israel's modern history, said the couple was granted a rabbinical divorce this week.

Under Israeli criminal law, sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl are not illegal as long as her male partner is no more than three years her senior.
