A history lesson

I've just been watching something on TV about how sugar was so essential to moral during WW2 that the Silvertown sugar refinery in London began building air raid shelters two years before the Blitz began. And workers never left the site, even at the height of the blitz. The Germans targeted the sugar factory specifically, presumably because they knew how important sugar was to us. It makes me wonder about how London's landscape could have been changed if we weren't so reliant on sugar.
