I don't know anything about the honey project other than it's operated by mother divines, but using its profits to "feed the poor of Brazil" sounds so not the movement I can't believe it for a second. Where else has this ever been done by a mov't project???? I remember a tape played during a business class at miu in which MMY talks about how ridiculous it is to give money to the poor.
