Sugar Beet Labor Battles Spill Out Onto The National Stage

been doing honey and now I'm onto Stevia.

Sugar interferes with fat burning because it triggers insulin, which shuts down fat burning. Eat something sugary, and it'll be 3 days before fat burning kicks back in, that is, if you don't keep on consuming sugar.

but I used to put suger in my coffee until I read about how bad it is for you.

C&H. So sad all around.

If you want real sugar, you have to buy cane sugar.

... maybe it is me, but beet sugar tastes like dirt to me. So I have been boycotting American Crystal sugar for over a decade the way it is.

Sucrose is sucrose and it doesn't matter where is comes from. Sucrose is a double sugar, it is one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose linked together. It does not matter if the glucose comes from corn and the fructose come from elsewhere, It does not matter if the sucrose comes from beets, carrots, cane. It's the same thing and we eat too much of it.

I support the boycott.

they live in Hillsboro ND where one of Crystal's plant is located, the strike has hurt the town and its people immensely, needless to say they had nothing good to say about the beet farmers who they say have bought up most of the land and are running the show which is destroying families and what is actually a nice little town, they fullly support the workers and said it was this that had a part in changing NoDak from red to blue (note I paraphrased and milded down what was said)

He finally gave up and found another job.

Fuck American Crystal Sugar!!!

and yes Fuck American Crystal Sugar!

what products does this company produce, under what brand name, for us to boycott? Is it all sugar?

Thanks.. I think it could be a regional thing because I haven't seen this brand in California.
