Did you know that sugar is illegal to import into the united states? Very few people know about sugar wars and congress. The import limit on a yearly basis in 2001 was something like 4000 metric tons. 4000 metric tons is less than one cargo ship of sugar.
The domestic american sugar and sweetener producers have congress bought off. The sad part is that most americans can't get to taste real sugar.
If you're a sugar snob like I am you would know that sugars are like fine wines. They vary in taste, color, aroma, and value just like wines.
I'm a diabetic. I live in a sugar free world. It all tastes the same anyway. Sometimes, though, we drive through the dark streets to the Alexandria Krispy Kreme factory in the early morning hours and we can literally FEEL the doughnuts cook, and inhale the delectible flavors of incredible but forbidden icings.
That's all you really need.
