I'm no environmental economist, but something doesn't seem quite right about this quote:

"[Sugar] is a vital ingredient in the nation's food supply and you do not want to turn that over, in a great portion, to foreign suppliers... then you [will] end up being dependent, as we are on foreign oil."

-- Luther Markwart, American Sugar Alliance
