Les scandales du sucre sont aussi vieux que le produit.

• I own I am shocked at the purchase of slaves,
• And fear those who buy them and sell them are knaves;
• What I hear of their hardships, their tortures, and groans
• Is almost enough to draw pity from stones.

• I pity them greatly, but I must be mum,
• For how could we do without sugar and rum?
• Especially sugar, so needful we see;
• What, give up our desserts, our coffee, and tea?
