- An important new history of sugar that encompasses both today's obesity epidemic and slavery. Walvin argues that we can only fully understand our contemporary dietary problems by coming to terms with their genesis, considering the relationship between society and sweetness over a long historical span dating back two centuries to a time when sugar was vital to the burgeoning European domestic and colonial economies. <b>The world corrupted - from slavery to obesity.</b>
