Nuts
Sometimes, environmentalists go too far... Here is one of those times. Domino now sells "Carbon Free" Sugar. Seriously? Carbon free sugar? I think I remember learning the chemical formula for sugar in the third grade; C6H12O6. Its a carbohydrate. That carbo from carbon, and hydrate from hydrate.
I know what they "meant." That the growing and harvesting process does not release more carbon into the atmosphere. But here are my problems with it: shouldn't carbon free mean carbon free? In addition, I think most of these "carbon offset" vendors are scam artists, with no regulation and don't really do any good; they really don't offset your carbon, just your guilt.

How about I buy some carbon free sugar with some disappearing soy-based ink 50% recycled paper money.
That's awesome. I don't know if I should laugh at them or feel sorry for them.
Pure cane sugar that contains no carbon?
Weird.
Sort of like Non-Dairy creamer.
It reminds me of the first time I saw a grocery store section for organic food. I thought they had lost their minds. I suppose that I do eat trace amounts of iron and minerals, but for the most part, I eat organic food. No need to devote an entire section for things the rest of the store contains.
