"Ah! Praise white sugar! Its sweetness can balance the body's fluids; its purity can cleanse the murkiness of the spirit. It is the symbol of holiness and wealth, a delight only the noble can savor!..."
Indeed! In this era of Europe, the vast majority of Catholic Nobles, clergy, and wealthy merchants are undoubtedly the true "Sweet Party"! While nine-tenths of commoners are lowly people without access to "sugar"!
