Saving Sugar Saves Shipping
American families would have less sugar than war torn France if we relied only on home grown stocks. About 75 percent of our sugar is shipped to our shores and we produce roughly 1,000,000 tons yearly while imports exceed 3,000,000 tons in normal times. The U S Food Administration asks each family to limit household sugar to two pounds per month per person and the military needs every available ship for Army or Navy use. When we save sugar we save shipping.
