i do not think there is anything wrong with marketing the way you produce or manufacture something. i am not into degrading others ways either . i am not into organic foods but do like natural foods vs over processed. don't we all like to read made in usa or canada?is that really any different. i just had some b-grade on my homemade waffles last night that i made last year, i also have some light amber, to tell you the truth the b-grade was much better, more maple flavor better texture. today's syrup is vastly different from what was made even 100 yrs ago. not saying better, just different.old timestuff was generally darker,more distinct maple flavors, woodier if you will, smokey. i try to make the best grade i can, and the best flavor but i am not going to lay awake a night worring about how to make my syrup lighter. todays standard's are set by the gov't not the palet. i think the whole light vs dark is a bunch of crap myself, before you guys get up in arms, think about is fancy grade really any better than b-grade?? if it is legal by our gov't standards it should be up to each person to decide what they like. i don't want to here about dissolved solids in b-grade and why that makes it inferior, if it is it all should be junked then, anything less than dark amber should be thrown out.
some guys go about marketing the wrong way, i have always thought that if you have to put down someone elses product you probably have something to hide in your own. however lets not cast stones because someone is doing it different if it is a safe product so be it.
