How do we lose? Well, the less expensive sugar cannot be imported into the
US.
Therefore, businesses such as LifeSavers have opted to leave the US for
other
places (such as Canada) where sugar is less expensive.
So, the US sugar producers lose because they are not selling sugar to a
business
here, and at the same time our manufacturing base leaves.
Sugar also isn't the only commodity have price supports, Milk is the
worst offender I believe.
Yep, I've noticed the proce of sugar (at least here) has skyrocketed. Since I
put sugar in my coffee (that's it).....I decided when I saw what my Mom and Dad
use to make a change.
#1It's a WHOLE lot healthier than sugar
#2 You don't use near the amount.
You all might know of it, I never heard of it.
It called 'Sugar In The Raw.' I bought a 160z. box, for the life of me I
can't rember the price, actually it's a tad more expensive then when the sugar
price was more reasonable.
I got the 'packets' to be more control of my intake. You get 100 packets of
it. I noticed on the bottom of the box is says "Natural Cane Turbinado Sugar
From Hawaii." It looks like gold crystals when your pour it out of the packet.
It sweetens, no doubt, just a 'different' type of sweet.....but I've grown to
like it.
