22、trict itself to the past. Rather, the book takes the story of perhaps the most popular crop of all time and brings it disturbingly into the present day. Walvin begins his research where most of us begin our relationship with the stuffthe sweet shops of childhood memory. If sugar is a guilty pleasure
23、 then it is one with which almost every one of us is drunk on a daily basis. The unstoppable march of sugar raises the question: why?

There are people without fundamental human rights. How long ago, for example, did women not have th
