Seriously though, sugar is a major component of the American diet. Good for you for figuring that out and getting yourself away from it. You are tilting at windmills if you think some corporate outfit is going to change their recipe any time soon.
You want to eat local food? Try the backyard.
Joe, there are different types of sugar and the liquid sucrose which Foodland uses as well as the other barely legal cheap cheap cheap ingredients are bottom of the barrel. I just don't see how a "locally" owned business who "cares" about Hawaii with charity involvement(tax write offs), doesn't know or care that diabetes is an epidemic here. And would be so incredible greedy about profits before health. Why not choose to bake with ingredients that are not so harmful? They don't need to use the best but barely legal ingredients due to direct health hazards to humans? Where's the local love?
The original owner lived here, the daughter is very business oriented and branched off into a mainland conglomerate. No link here proves she lives in Hawaii. Most likely she has homes everywhere.
