IIRC the sugar trade barrier was originally set up as a sanction against Cuban sugar. The current situation being what it is, I expect Obama will remove it soon.

In addition the food police (Moochelle and her gang of thugs) have demonized sugar.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with sugar -- it's been a way of life in America for centuries -- especially in the South (sweet tea anyone?). Some of the leftists are pushing the lie that sugar is addictive, like a drug. These are same group of Nazis who believe in the heresy of globull warming. I've enjoyed sugar all my life and am healthy and in my mid-70s!

The U.S. sugar industry has enjoyed trade protection since 1789 when Congress enacted the first tariff against foreign-produced sugar.

I don’t eat pan cakes very often but when I do, I drown them in sorghum molasses. I’m still kicking after 70 years.

I ate it when growing up, my mother introduced me to it, she still eats sorghum molasses and she’s almost 95.
