Book excerpt: "This book is about Jock Campbell's role in the shaping of British Guiana (Guyana) towards the end of the empire. Campbell, the head of the Booker Company which owned most of the sugar plantations in colonial Guyana, was a reformer whose Fabian socialist beliefs drove him to secure major benefits for sugar workers, in the 1950s-60s." "Clem Seecharan explores the interplay between Campbell's programme of reforms and the doctrinaire Marxism of Guyana's charismatic politician Cheddi Jagan." "Sweetening 'Bitter Sugar' is part biography, part history and politics. It also encompasses ethnicity, trade unionism, agricultural and technological innovation, and health, housing and social welfare reforms. It is a study in modern Caribbean historiography."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an attempt to briefly record my long life story as a Guyanese who evolved from a broken parental home and the pits of poverty in colonial British Guiana to become, first a successful school teacher and an unconventional school administrator. I then won a coveted Cadetship offered by the expatriate firm of Bookers Sugar Estates Ltd., which owned and operated the sugar industry in the colony. This was the catalyst that provided the springboard for my launching into the field of Human Resource Management initially in the sugar industry in Guyana, then in Canada, followed by exciting assignments literally across the world with the United Nations Children Fund, a field based agency of the United Nations, before ending with a return to base in Guyana.
Download or read book Bitter written by Jennifer McLagan and published by Ten Speed Press. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The champion of uncelebrated foods including fat, offal, and bones, Jennifer McLagan turns her attention to a fascinating, underappreciated, and trending topic: bitterness. What do coffee, IPA beer, dark chocolate, and radicchio all have in common? They’re bitter. While some culinary cultures, such as in Italy and parts of Asia, have an inherent appreciation for bitter flavors (think Campari and Chinese bitter melon), little attention has been given to bitterness in North America: we’re much more likely to reach for salty or sweet. However, with a surge in the popularity of craft beers; dark chocolate; coffee; greens like arugula, dandelion, radicchio, and frisée; high-quality olive oil; and cocktails made with Campari and absinthe—all foods and drinks with elements of bitterness—bitter is finally getting its due. In this deep and fascinating exploration of bitter through science, culture, history, and 100 deliciously idiosyncratic recipes—like Cardoon Beef Tagine, White Asparagus with Blood Orange Sauce, and Campari Granita—award-winning author Jennifer McLagan makes a case for this misunderstood flavor and explains how adding a touch of bitter to a dish creates an exciting taste dimension that will bring your cooking to life.

Download or read book Bitter Sweet written by S. P. Yeh and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are blessed with an overabundance of sugar-loaded processed foods, drinks and ever-increasing variations of sugar flavored products. Sugar is widely available and it can be addictive. Over the last decade, global sugar consumption has grown from about 130 to 178 million tons. Over consumption of sugar has been linked to increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and even some cancers. The US has the highest sugar consumption than any other country in the world. Over 84 million Americans now have prediabetes 9 out of 10 of them don't even know they have it. Most Americans know about the dangers of sugar but don't know what to do about it. The purpose of this book is to raise awareness of sugar in products and to promote the acceptability of alternative healthy choices. Utilize your in-born feedback mechanism as a gauge to refrain from excessive sugar intake. Choose low glycemic and high satiety index foods to control your appetite. Use natural ingredients, spices, and seasonings to compensate for reducing or eliminating added sugar in foods and drinks. Drink water, unsweetened tea or fruit-flavored sparkling water beverage instead of sugar-loaded beverages and drinks. Controlling sugar intake without exercise and calorie reduction would not make any meaningful improvement. A combination of a healthy diet, weight control and exercise will decrease the risk of illness and improve your health. Changes in eating habits and lifestyles do not have to be all or nothing. Small-steps goes a long way. Little things you do every day can make a big difference in your life.
Download or read book Empty Pleasures written by Carolyn de la Peña and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-09-27 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugar substitutes have been a part of American life since saccharin was introduced at the 1893 World's Fair. In Empty Pleasures, the first history of artificial sweeteners in the United States, Carolyn de la Pena blends popular culture with business and women's history, examining the invention, production, marketing, regulation, and consumption of sugar substitutes such as saccharin, Sucaryl, NutraSweet, and Splenda. She describes how saccharin, an accidental laboratory by-product, was transformed from a perceived adulterant into a healthy ingredient. As food producers and pharmaceutical companies worked together to create diet products, savvy women's magazine writers and editors promoted artificially sweetened foods as ideal, modern weight-loss aids, and early diet-plan entrepreneurs built menus and fortunes around pleasurable dieting made possible by artificial sweeteners. NutraSweet, Splenda, and their predecessors have enjoyed enormous success by promising that Americans, especially women, can "have their cake and eat it too," but Empty Pleasures argues that these "sweet cheats" have fostered troubling and unsustainable eating habits and that the promises of artificial sweeteners are ultimately too good to be true.
