How did a simple commodity, once
the prized monopoly of kings and
princes, become an essential
ingredient in the lives of millions,
before mutating yet again into the
cause of a global health epidemic?
PRIOR to 1600, sugar was a costly luxury, tlte preserve of the
rich. But with the rise of the European colonies in the Americas
in the seventeenth century, sugar became cheap, ubiquitous and
hugely popular — an everyday necessity.
As recently as the 1970s, very few people suggested that sugar
posed a global health problem; yet today, sugar is regularly
denounced as a dangerous addiction, on a par with tobacco, and
the cause of a global obesity epidemic. While sugar consumption
remains higher than ever - in some countries as high as 50kg per
head per year - some advertisements proudly proclaim that their
product contains no sugar. Sugar, while still clearly much loved, has
taken on a pariah status.
Sugar grown by enslaved workers - people who had been uprooted
and shipped vast distances to undertake the gruelling, intensive
labour on plantations - brought about revolutionary changes in the
landscape of the sugar colonies while transforming the tastes of
the Western world.
Only now is the extensive ecological harm caused by sugar
plantations being fully recognised, but it is the brutal human cost,
from the first slave gangs in sixteenth-century Brazil, through to
indentured Indian labourers in Fiji, the Japanese in Hawaii or the
‘South Sea Islanders’ shipped to Australia in the late nineteenth
century, that has struck us most forcibly in the recent past
We can only fully understand our contemporary dietary concerns
with regard to sugar by coming to terms with the relationship
between society and sweetness over a long historical span
dating back two centuries to a time when sugar was vital to the
burgeoning European domestic and colonial economies. This is
•*? - - -
exactly what Wahrin helps us to do.
