“Is it not true that we import 100 percent or 99 percent of our tea, which is true, we do not grow tea domestically?

But I think the reality is the dependency is overseas to those markets to make sure that America continues to buy their sugar. So to say that there is going to be a sugar shortage because of the change in the sugar domestic policy is ridiculous because we never had a tea shortage, or at least none in recent memory that I can recall.”
