obesity and heart disease, of the public’s increased sugar consumption.”

History of Sugar
Big Sugar Documentary on the Political History of the Sugar Industry
Written and Directed by Brian McKenna
“Big Sugar explores the dark history and modern power of the world’s reigning sugar cartels. Using dramatic reenactments, it reveals how sugar was at the heart of slavery in the West Indies in the 18th century, while showing how present-day consumers are slaves to a sugar-based diet. A lost chapter of Canadian history is discovered, illustrating how 18th century sugar lobbyists in England used blackmail and bribes to determine the fate of Canada.”
