For those of you who think that sugar is not a 'staple' I propose the following
field trip:  Toodle down to your nearest food store and read some labels.

 * Head for the cereals aisle, and check the ingredients of any 4 cereals
        (include 1 kiddie cereal).
 * Read the labels on some cans of soup (house brands and Campbell's).
 * Look at the back of a peanut butter jar (especially Skippy, jiff, or 
        Peter Pan).
 * Peruse the contents of tomato or spaghetti sauce.
 * Scan the frozen foods section.
 * Contemplate the soft drinks aisle.
 * Notice the 'flavorings' used in processing meats (lunchmeats, sausage, etc.)
 * Examine 'health' foods like granola or yoghurt.

Mind you, this doesn't address things like baked goods (pastries and whatnot),
candy, or 'fast food'.  Nor will I do more than mention corn sweetners (how 
many ears of corn does it take to make a teaspoon of 'corn sweetner'??).

Shall we continue our discussion of exploitation now?
