RE: Our Sugar Addiction and The Slave Trade
It appears that sugar has not had a sweet past unless you were a money maker from the slave labor. Today's sugar is not what the old sugar was...and over done by food makers and still addictive to many. Thanks @reddust for the interesting historical perspective.
It seems that the slave system has been refined into low wage labor tax slave system. Sugar in the past wasn't available to the common people. As industrialization became prevalent the processing of mass sugar became easier. Whether it was molasses or refined sugar, large amounts are not good for the human body and mind. Thank you @enjoywithtroy.
