"BIG SUGAR" SWEET, WHITE & DEADLY BY: BRIAN MCKENNA

Documentary about Big Sugar, from it's early days with ties to slavery to modern times with it's detrimental effects on the everglades and political ties. This is both part 1 and part 2. Written & Directed by: Brian McKenna. Produced by:Galafilm in 2005.

As good as this is, it barely touches on the negative effects it has on Florida residents, poisoning the water supply, endangering animals and plant species etc... for more information I very highly recommend reading Keri Hendry's article: http://floridacrackercrumbs.wordpress.com/2008/06/01/raising-cane-a-history-o...

When I wen't to highschool, I could've afford to drink pop, however I saw it as a waste of MONEY..

Though I do not believe in treating "big sugar" like "big tobacco" I wouldn't mind essentially forcing the foreign governments to pay their workers more, or a ban on their products(yea the liberal side of me speaking here)

Which may bring the prices up here, and may reduce demand a little bit..
