Obviously she is myopically focused upon the evil cane sugar, ignoring the glorious beet sugar produced in the Red River Valley of the North by American Crystal Sugar and it’s coop farmer/owners, many of whom are descendants of Norwegian Lutheran Immigrants. Lars’s kind of people. Sweet!
Support all that’s right and true in the world. Buy Crystal Sugar!
I like your take on this. The author was clearly focused on ONE aspect of the trade. Bad as it was, like I say on another subject, “guns don’t kill, people do”….its the same for the use and manufacture of sugar….. that’s about as simple as it gets.
We always bought and preferred Crystal Sugar on the farm back in Iowa…
My dad’s hired man of decades past used to work for them in their refinery. The stories he used to tell !!!
However, in spite of them, we still used lots of that sugar beet stuff.
This is an interesting book about sugar in the West Indies.

Very good observation, Greybeard. Maybe it’s in the book, but not as dramatic as other stuff, so it didn’t make the promo text.
