&lt;p&gt;It's without a doubt that everyone who watched this video and others alike, should feel an individual obligation to share this knowledge with others to help create a massive awareness on the wickedness of these few individuals in power in order to break them down. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I ask everyone who has viewed this information to share it with all. &amp;nbsp;Especially to those who are in power such as politicians, police officers, those in the military, the FDA, the banks, and etc..,) and attach with it a simple message that you share this for the LOVE that you have for your fellow man. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take the time and think what would happen if everyone was to join us in sharing this message all over the world. What would these people in power say? &amp;nbsp;What could they do to combat it and maintain their ways? &amp;nbsp;This can not fight. They will become powerless and will flee. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Send it by email, snail mail, fax, or, yes, word of mouth. &amp;nbsp; Let the rEVOLution begin! &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

NO KIDDING eh? &amp;nbsp;Since when does man think that he can outsmart mother nature. &amp;nbsp;I do agree that too much processed sugar is not good for us, but along the same lines, oils (pure fat with little nutritional value) is on the same level, if not worse than sugar. &amp;nbsp;Yes,I know, it sounds like heresy, but Olive Oil is not the health food that people think it is. &amp;nbsp;Check it out - you will have to search for the truth, but it is out there. &amp;nbsp;Along with processed sugar, one should minimize the amount of any kind of oil one consumes. &amp;nbsp;Eat the plant based whole food!&lt;/p&gt;

So to get this done slave labour was the ONLY way they could get it harvested and&amp;nbsp;shipped to the very&amp;nbsp;profitable&amp;nbsp;markets in Europe and the rest of the world. With the abolition of slavery i think back in 1833 (if memory serves me right) the practise continued but with the newly freed slaves called "indentured labourers". An indentured labourer was really another form of slavery except they were paid a very small fee, be it in the form of land or money, in exchange&amp;nbsp;for their labour.&amp;nbsp;The day usually began from somewhere around 4 o'clock in the morning and would end most probably around sunset. &lt;br&gt; This practise continued with these "free indentured labourers" up until recently when the mechanical harvester was introduced to help out since a lot of the people were getting themselves educated/skilled and moving to other less physical demanding jobs. &lt;br&gt; This was a sight to see, i mean the entire process from the planting of the sugar cane and to the actual harvesting. It is truly one of the toughest jobs on the planet and i'm not asking anyone i'm telling&amp;nbsp;it as i see and know&amp;nbsp;it..... Why, because i grew up in it and to this day even thinking about it really saddens me to see my parents working like slaves to put food on the table for us,&amp;nbsp;while taking care of 9 kids as well.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt; My hats are of to them i'm really proud and happy to call them my parents,they are the absolute best in the world.Can anyone find a reason to like Tate &amp;amp; Lyle who was and still is one of the biggest culprit in  &lt;strong&gt; more recent years  &lt;/strong&gt; to this grossly &amp;amp;distasteful trade,enslaving people to create the most addictive&amp;amp;wasteful substance in the entire planet, sorry i can't &lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=17021" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The Hidden Story of Big Sugar</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/10/02/the-hidden-story-of-big-sugar.aspx#17020</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Sep 2007 00:24:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:17020</guid><dc:creator>shiva</dc:creator><description>Probably the best dietary change I ever made in my life (which I began back in 1981), .. was to eliminate the consumption of refined sugar. ...
