Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet flavor, and like steel
or plastic, it had to be invented. In the Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. That was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the dark story of sugar. How do the details in this passage support the authors’ purpose? The comparison of honey to sugar production helps persuade readers that honey is better than sugar.

The authors of this book <em>“Sugar Changed the World</em>”, Marc Aronson and his wife Marina Budhos wanted to inform the readers about the many wasted lives, sufferings from slavery and long journeys it took to produce sugar for Europe’s sweet tooth in order to “enjoy” such a cheaper product than the honey they had closer at hand. It was cheap because in slavery you do not pay the workers.
