So is Michigan where sugar is made from sugar beets.
Actually we make more sugar from beets than we do from cane.
The last figures I could find say the US produced 3.45 million tons of cane sugar and 3.75 million tons of beet sugar.
Since there is no difference between the two, when you buy a bag of sugar there is no way to tell if it came from sugar cane or sugar beets. Their chemical make-up is identical.
If you want a real olfactory treat (sarcasm) drive by a sugar processing plant - smells worse than a pig farm. You might think sugar production smells good. Believe me, it doesn't.
Nearly purchased a home in Deland Florida once. Then on a rainy day i went to look at it and the wind was out of the North West. A stench like a sewer was eminating and I went over a hill to find a very large chicken farm. Man You want to smell something bad, about 20,000 chickens is the real deal.
Thanks, wasn’t aware Michigan was into sugar beets nor that so much was actually made into sugar.
Are we subsidizing the process?
