Sugar prices are in the all time high. We are also consuming in an all time high loads of sugar, therefore, the demand of the sugar are high too. The drought in India drive the price of sugar even higher. No wonder my significant other quit eating chocolate expect for an occasional hot coco. I still would eat a nice ethical chocolate bars, but it would not be without sugar. The truth is that people would start cutting down on real sugar if the prices continue to go up or the name brand would substitute real sugar with glucose-fructose! Ewww! I can taste the difference and in no way I would buy chocolate with those in it. Drinks may be okay, but food, you can tell a great deal of difference. Even my pop prices are already in an increase, yikes!
