Here's something interesting, I've been reading a scholarly book on the history of the slave trade. One of the biggest driving forces behind it was the incredible profits in sugar. By the 18th century, sugar had become a staple in England, down to the poorest people. The Author commented that protraits showed the growth of sugar use, because the faces got rounded and fatter as sugar became more popular.
