sugar & introduction (was: apple corn bread recipe)

[Guest guest]

Cornbread sounds deeelicious!

 

However, this isn't quite correct:

 

Ecc> Many vegetarians

Ecc> avoid white sugar which is refined using charred animal

Ecc> bones as a filter and because it is missing any

Ecc> nutritional value. Brown sugar and Turbinado sugar make

Ecc> good substitutes. Sucanat tends to be less sweet than

Ecc> white sugar.

 

White cane sugar is processed with bone char, but white beet sugar

isn't. Brown sugar is just processed white sugar (if it's cane or beet

varies by brand) with molasses added back in.

 

So... Does anyone know of a major brand of sugar that's

from beets? I know about Florida Crystals etc., but I want something I

can find outside of a specialty store or at least something that costs

less than Florida Crystals. Even when I get it from the bulk bins it's

expensive...

 

I should introduce myself. I'm Cheryl. I'm 20 years old,

female, I live in Lexington, Ky, usa. Was vegetarian for five years

before going vegan, been vegan for about three years now. I like rats

and cats and banjos and books. I have a livejournal,

http://www.livejournal.com/~eyeawry . My favorite soda is Stewart's

Orange and Creme. I like pistachios a lot too. And I like trout, but not

for eating, of course. I'm going to make doughnuts Saturday!
