A fascinating persuasive history of how sugar has shaped the world, from European colonies to our modern diets. In this eye-opening study, Sidney Mintz shows how Europeans and Americans transformed sugar from a rare foreign luxury to a commonplace necessity of modern life, and how it changed the history of capitalism and industry. He discusses the production and consumption of sugar, and reveals how closely interwoven are sugar's origins as a "slave" crop grown in Europe's tropical colonies with is use first as an extravagant luxury for the aristocracy, then as a staple of the diet of the new industrial proletariat. Finally, he considers how sugar has altered work patterns, eating habits, and our diet in modern times.

评分 评分逛超市时,我发现一个规律。每当我只买蔬菜、水果、米面这些出自大自然馈赠的食物,最后结算的费用总是很有限的。而只要购物车里加上诸如牛奶制品、巧克力、咖啡、饼干糕点、果脯一类的零食,价格曲线就陡然上升。包括奶制品在内,所有这些食物有一个共同的特点,里面含有糖。...
