Even the oxen look undernourished. Just curious. Do you know whether we get more of our sugar from U.S. farms or ones owned by U.S. companies overseas?
Not sure about the rest of the country, but here (North Dakota), we get a majority of our sugar from sugar beets grown locally. Makes me feel not *quite* so bad looking at those pictures, although I imagine any processed sugared food probably gets its sugar from a similar situation as the pictures.
Good point. Where do you live in ND? I live in Grand Forks and believe me I know we get the sugar from beets. We can SMELL them all during the production cycle.

I like the editing on these, Shaun. Did you do that yourself?
Great shots. A friend of mine just got back from Belize and he was amazed at how EVERYTHING there is done by hand.
Shaun Groves says:
Yep.
Thanks.
