According to a story in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, titled “Sugar Squeeze in U.S.,” bad weather has curbed the amount of sugar cane produced in Florida and sugar beets in the Midwest. When combined with restrictive import quotas that virtually guarantee U.S. producers 85 percent of the domestic market, domestic sugar prices could soon spike upward. Americans currently pay more than 36 cents for a pound of sugar, more than 50 percent above the world price. The sugar program not only imposes extra costs on American consumers but also hurts U.S. small business...

Are there any beet-haters up for the challenge?

Six farmers from the Boulder County in Colorado asked asking permission to plant genetically modified sugar beets on open space land, which are areas of protected or conserved land on which development is indefinitely set aside. The farmers argue that they need to plant GM sugar beets in order to be competitive and stay in business. This year, 95 percent of all sugar beets grown in the US are Roundup Ready, which have been modified to resist the herbicide Roundup. Overspraying with herbicides usually kills both weeds and crops, but the biotech beets can be sprayed with Roundup to kill the weeds and the beets will stay unharmed. After strong arguments from both sides, the Boulder County Food...

The company recently announced it won't use GM beet sugar in its Brazilian-made products, but Hershey has not made any such promises for its US products. In light of this, a number of consumer watch-dog groups in the US are urging people to take action; several years ago, Hershey told U.S. consumers it would not use genetically engineered sugar. But now genetically modified sugar beets are being planted commercially in the US and Hershey is utilizing sugar made from these plants for their hugely popular “Kisses” candy. Additionally, the nation's largest sugar manufacturer, Crystal...

Not the canned type I grew up eating, but the real thing…the deep red-purple, irregularly shaped root with a long, skinny, hairy tip. So I am food shopping while hungry the other day -- always a danger to the pocket book -- and I spot beets. Ah ha, I think, just what I need for a winter dinner. I buy a bunch and take them home.I chop off their shiny green leaves and toss them. Then, I trim the tops and bottoms of the beets and put them in a oven-proof dish with a bit of water in the bottom. Thirty minutes later I have tender, but firm scrumptious beets to eat (with a little dollop of mayo). Yum.Now I am feeling pretty self-righteous about having taken the time to prepare these fresh vegetables for dinner – one of th...

She made us chocolate mousse which is quite possibly the best thing I have eaten ever. Even tastier than the Jewish madeleine, I mean the afikoymen.She also made us some beets, and I brought them for lunch to work today, a big tupperware that I meant to eat only half of. Big mistake, thought I, as I opened the plastic bag and saw a pool of beet juice on the bottom - now I'll have to eat up the whole thing so it won't leak into my backpack on the way home. So, worried about beet overdose, I started in. And they were delectable. There I sat, waiting for my patients to arrive, tie untucked into shirt, slurping up huge tasty beet hunks with trusty chu...
