I don't know why anyone would celebrate this.

We are more in need of domestic sugar than ever.

It's been proven time and again that corn syrup is killing us with obesity.

Here's something I like to do...watch any tv program or movie from the 1970s or earlier.

What do you notice?   Yes, almost everyone is really thin.  And not just the stars, just average people.  In fact, it was the rare person who was called "Fats" or "Fatso" because it just didn't happen back then...when we ate sugar instead of corn syrup.

I think this deal in Florida stinks -- it's more about putting natural sugar off the market than "preserving wetlands" -- but, as always, there are any number of easily duped "environmentalists" willing to take the bait.

Mill, baby, mill?

I'll tell you why, oh ignorant one.  No water, no life.  The corn syrup argument is ridiculous. Ingesting it is a choice.

I applaud Gov Crist for finding a way to restucture this project so it can go forward in these trying economic times.  The Miami Herald article is very informative.  US Sugar will now retain it's Clewiston plant which will save a community dependent on them for their livlihood.  Lake Okeechobee will still go home to the Glades and the positive effects of this on the environment are huge, the most important being that the great water purification capabilities of the Glades will begin to function again.  No more dumps of water from Lake Okeechobee that destroy the ecosytems of our estuaries. Hallelujah and thank you God!!
