The "price of sugar"

Read this post from Thy about concerns about growing and harvesting sugar cane - Bitter Sweet: The Price of Sugar.

Whatever am I going to do? Here I am on the cusp of starting culinary school and now I also have to worry about sugar in addition to foie gras, veal and other endangered food species like Chilean Sea Bass (Patagonian Toothfish), Tuna, shark's fin...and others?!!

*sigh* I really would like to be a conscientious consumer...and we're lucky enough in the US that we have enough resources and wealth that we can even consider the repercussions of the food that we buy and eat. It really does take some extra time and effort. =)
