The
plant looks innocent enough......The
plant looks innocent enough......
Kids playing in the fields of sugar cane - how sweet!
But Sugar can mean sweet misery to the workers who grow & harvest it
The cut sugar cane is loaded onto lorries
And processed in sugar refineries
Black smoke to make white sugar
The real thing...... more sweet misery for millions who mindlessly drink it
