Gum arabic is used as a food additive in a lot of sodas, gums, gummy candies, and marshmallows.
NO MARSHMALLOWS?! How can I have a s'more without a marshmallow?! I think that is the more important question. Perhaps we can take gum arabic out of our sodas, but I'm pretty sure marshmallows would be worthless without it.
That said, I think the sanctions on the Sudan are a step in the right direction. Certainly, sanctions have not really helped us in the past, but I see it as a sign that our current administration is aware that there is a problem in the Sudan and it needs to be dealt with. I only hope that they don't stop with sanctions and keep going until a lasting peace is reached in Darfur, and the genocide is stopped.
