Comments on: “Sugar is good for you!” – and for the people who sell sugar https://ethicalnag.org/2010/10/11/sugar-is-good/ Marketing Ethics for the Easily Swayed Sun, 09 Aug 2015 23:50:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Carolyn Thomas https://ethicalnag.org/2010/10/11/sugar-is-good/comment-page-1/#comment-57748 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:11:47 +0000 http://ethicalnag.org/?p=3192#comment-57748 Kathleen, thanks for sharing this vintage publication with us!

I love this one: “Ability in the art of candymaking is an excellent aid to popularity.” They were oh-so-right!! The women in my office once lobbied to move a job interviewee’s application to the top of the short-list pile because her resumé listed “chocolate making” as one of her interests! That’s my kind of co-worker . . .

The introduction has gems like:

“Until the beginning of the 19th century the art of making sweetmeats was practiced chiefly by physicians and apothecaries…”
“Today, when it is pure, candy is recognized as a valuable food.”
“Ability in the art of candymaking is an excellent aid to popularity.”

Thanks for help and photographs go out to these, among others: Corn Products Refining Company, General Foods Corporation, H.J. Heinz Company, Hershey Chocolate Corporation, Irradiated Evaporated Milk institute, National Dairy Council, Pet Milk Company, The Borden Company.

The tide is turning and the food and beverage industries are on the defensive. Americans have never been fatter or sicker and we can’t seem to figure out why.

I can’t believe the Sugar Association says you can put sugar on fruits and vegetables. That’s just crazy in my opinion.
