Sugar has been given to us by nature through the wondrous sugar cane, huge shoots of delicious sweets that can fill with rain water and become an amazing summer drink. Humans must have discovered these in the ancient past and found that by sucking and chewing on the shoot you would instantly get a shot of sugar and find yourself energized and happier. This would allow them to continue working and hunting and surviving and in hard times like that, a little bit of sugar and that jolt of joy would be something that was highly prized. An incredible discovery that we must thank our ancestors for having the courage to try and spread around to the world.
