Sugar Sweet
The sugar pulsed through her blood. She took another bite. The smooth,
sweet chocolate fused into her body removing the pain.
She could feel their stares. Burning through her as she ate. She
seized the remainder of the chocolate and walked out. It was
intolerable. Every time she ate she could feel those around her
wishing to throw up. She could feel their whispers of disgust.
As she was leaving the food court she felt a tap on her shoulder. She
spun around, preparing herself for another snide remark about her
size.
"What?" she snapped.
"You forgot this" the girl replied, her tight jeans accentuating her
flawless figure. The girl handed the leaflet to her. "Looks like you
might need it" With a snort of laughter she left and returned to her
friends.
She ran through the rest of the shopping centre. Past the countless
shops, pictures of stick figure models stuck to their windows.
Sitting under the stairs on the station she extracted the remnants of
a family block of chocolate from her bag. She flicked through the
leaflet "Lose weight now". She had never seen it before. She began
sobbing.
The train pulled out of the station. She remained sitting hidden under
the steps. Consumed by distress the tall figure that slid up next to
her went unnoticed. He lit a cigarette causing her to jump.
"What's the problem, babe?" he said offering her a cigarette.
"No thanks I don't smoke" she muttered, wiping away the tears.
Suddenly conscious of her size she folder her arms across her stomach.
"Hey I've seen you before" she sniffed, "You're Dads apprentice"
"Yeah, that's me. Look, do you want a lift somewhere?"
Face flushed, crying, she unlocked the front door and ran upstairs to
her bedroom. She shouldn't have done it. His sweet charm had left her
trapped in a car while he tried to come closer.
"Give it ago, come on I promise it won't hurt".
He had thrust two pills into her mouth.
Can sugar really make you happy? When sugar is consumed, then the mood will increase. When sugar is consumed, blood sugar peaks. Glucose, a type of sugar, helps provide energy for most cells in the body. Nerve cells are included in that category. Nerve cells take up half of the energy for sugar in the body. Therefore, glucose levels and brain function, like memory and learning, are very closely related. When the body’s glucose levels are low, energy is low. So, when sugar is consumed, then energy levels will increase. Increased energy levels will lead to a happier mood. While doing this controlled experiment, 10 test subjects rated their mood on a scale of 1-5 before and after the consuming the sugar.

Opening the refrigerator door, I locate two ingredients: eggs and butter. Grabbing the ingredients, I place them on the island sitting vertically in the middle of my rectangular kitchen. I then walk around the island to a cabinet to find baking powder and vanilla extract. Scanning and searching through all the spices and other items, I see the desired components. Finally, I walk across the kitchen to a cabinet standing high on my tippy toes because the protruding countertop makes the cabinet hard to reach. In this cabinet, I find the flour and sugar. I examine all of the goods on the island. The ingredients needed for a sugar cookie recipe, I have made countless times for the last five years.

When thinking back to birthdays, there is always the memory of the wonderful cake that mother beautifully made and decorated with frosting and glazes. A typical night out with dad can be transformed into a magical evening with a trip to the ice cream parlor.

Sugar, Caribbean’s most valuable commodity, sugar was the only thriving commodity and all of Europe wanted in on it. King sugar, ruled and revolutionized the economy in the Caribbean; bringing rise to mercantilism and then capitalism through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Sugar ruled the economy and brought profit; profit that led to competitors wanting land and the triangular trade; the increased production of sugar and African slaves.
This increase in production caused a change at the consumption end. When sugar was first being produced it was seen as a luxury product only accessible to the rich, but then as its production increased and there was a surge amount in the market place its uses changed. It went from being a specialized product used for medicinal, ritual, or for display purposes to a common everyday food substitute. Now the working class people began more than ever to consume large quantities of sugar as a substitute to their calorie lacking diet. The production of sugar in the British West Indies was not able to keep pace with the demands from the mother country. When the supply from the British West Indies increased so did England’s demand for the crop. It seemed like from the middle of the eighteen century onward the islands were never able to produce more sugar than what was consumed by the people in the mother country. “English sugar consumption increased about four-fold in the last four decades of the eighteenth century, 1700-40, and more than doubled again from 1741-45 to 1771-75 (Mintz 1985) . As the English began to incorporate more amounts of sugar into their daily diets they began to find multiple uses of the commodity. Sugar soon developed into a stable product in the lives of people. With the increased use of sugar in multiple forms of consumption it changed from its previous classification as a spice to its own separate category. The use of this newly popular commodity did not lose any popularity as the years passed. Britain became a leading exporter of sugar crops into the world market, with majority of the supply going to feed their own peoples ravenous appetite. In 1800 British consumption of sugar had increased some 2,500 percent in...
Sugar, like many other tradeable goods, was circulated through a variety of regions for over a thousand years. As trade and transportation created opportunities for more interactions between locations, sugar was introduced to places that it had been previously unknown. In the sixteenth century, Europe, specifically England, took a large interest in sugar, first serving as a luxury for the elite class but eventually evolving into a good available to all social classes. The high demand for sugar led to the expansion of sugar production, an increase in African slavery, and implemented a significant system of trade.
