Subject: RE: Refining Sugar


Kingston,Mi
She is technically correct, limestone is used in the process to purify the juice and since limestone is the results of billions of single cell skeletal fragments of marine organisms like coral foraminifera (ain't Wikipedia grand, such large, complex and impressive words spelled correctly). "Other carbonate grains within limestone's are comprised ooids, peloids, intraclasts and extraclasts. These organisms secrete shells made of aragonite or calcite and leave these shells behind after the organisms die" (within quotes is directly from Wikipedia article).

After confirming to her that, indeed animal remains are used to purify sugar, add that limestone as calcium carbonate is used in toothpaste, for building and of course as course aggregate in concrete and in tarmac. This should cause her as a "vegan" to abandon her home and walk only on the grass while staying away from concrete and tarmac. To paraphrase a current mayor of Chicago " never let a factoid go to waste when it can be used to cause mental anguish".
