Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet

flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In
the Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made
thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the
honey from down the road. That was possible only
because sugar set people in motion all across the world-
millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of
their fortunes. A perfect taste made possible by the most
brutal labor: That is the dark story of sugar.
