A sugar factory is going to close in the North, but the artists consume sugar in high doses – beet sugar like cane sugar from overseas France.
In 1996, the Ange group prophesied a disaster that would occur around 2014 or 2015: the Earth no longer produced sugar… Less serious and we told you about it this week on franceinfo: the Tereos group announced the closure of a sugar factory in the north.
This has a funny effect, it touches in our unconscious some sweet – even sacred – places. Closing a sugar factory is like breaking our childhood.
