I believe I was listening to Dinesh D’Souza’s podcast (highly recommend for his measured and thorough treatment of his subjects), talking with his wife about her 20 years in Sugarland, Texas. She said that the last sugar processing plant (Imperial Sugar) there is where the muslims are planning their ‘Sharialand’ enclave.
Many of us will remember our childhoods when there were two main sugar processors/growers — at least on the west coast — U&I (UT and ID, sugar beets), and C&H (CA and HI, sugar cane). Are there any U.S. sugar producers left?
…or has sugar been replaced entirely by U.S. high-fructose corn syrup? It would be great to have our own sugar-based Coca-Cola again, instead of drinking what comes from Mexico.
Abigail, glad to say there are.
Michigan farmers in the Thumb area grow lots of sugar beets for that very purpose.
Different Tim — Thanks for the info. Glad to know it!
Now we need to go back to growing more foods for our own consumption, instead of the mono-culture of export cash crops. I think I recently read that China buys about 80% of their total soy bean consumption from others, and the U.S. is a majority chunk of that amount. I imagine the main incentive for China buying U.S. farmlands is to skirt and reduce their prices of these kinds of crops to themselves. I don’t know enough about it, though, to conclude anything.
How about giving Tijuana back its own sewage-laden water?
The stuff sickening Americans in San Diego?
Florida has some 70,000 acres of sugar cane south of Lake Okeechobee in the Everglades Agricultural Area. There are 45 producers using that land, but there has been a lot of political corruption charges (the usual: campaign donations followed by very helpful legislation), plus growing suspicion that runoff contributes to red tide which has been on occasion a hit on tourist income. Bottom line: there are a number of dirty people making sugar in Florida.
Tijuana is the Olongapo City of Mexico just S. of San Diego. Both of those places are total shitholes.
Sugar beets used to be very profitable in California’s Central Valley, then NAFTA was signed. I used to haul them to Spreckles, Holly and Delta also had plants in my area. No more.
Walnut1 — Has Trump’s orders to release water from the north (OR, WA?) had any effect on growers’ plans down there? Or was it just words.
There are 2 things you can’t be without. Sugar and salt. Because the spice must flow. lol
Seriously, there are more varieties of fake sugar than real. Substitute sugar has its place, but for the people (climate cult members/buttinskies) who are trying to kill the production of real sugar: You have no idea how life works. At all.
MJA — haha! And, well, because without sugar and spice, we can’t have “everything nice” either!
a lot of people missed the important point you made in the first paragraph; quite a few of these “enclaves” are being established all over the country and once set up become Muslim land forever: they’ve “conqueered” it.
New democrat talking points on this:
“We hate Trump; therefore we support Mexico to steal water that belongs to US farmers.”
“We hate rural Texans because they overwhelmingly voted for Trump; ; therefore we support Mexico to steal water that belongs to US farmers.”
“Mexicans aren’t white; therefore Trump is racist for taking the side of US farmers over Mexican farmers; therefore we support Mexico to steal water that belongs to US farmers.”
