Sugar beets waiting at the Sugar Beet Bus stop.
From here they'll be taken to a factory where they'll be chopped up, soaked in water, squeezed semi-dry, dosed with formaldehyde and calcium hydroxide, bubbled with carbon dioxide, spin-dried and then boiled down to what you put on your cornflakes.
I think I'll stick to fruit on my müsli.....

You are a wise man, JB!
Formaldehyde? Thanks for that. I'm not much of a sugar user anyway. There was a sugar beet processing plant somewhere south of Stockton in the Central Valley of California that was very near the freeway. You could smell the sulfurous stench for miles.
These pictures remind me of a time I went to a sugar cane plantation when I was a Kid. By the end of the day I was scratched.
I remember when I was a kid I visited my grandpa and he used to plant sugar cane! I loved going with him to the cane plantations.
