<p>Mennonite: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Sugar''' is a sweet ingredient added to foods such as cookies, cakes, and pastries. Sugar comes from beets or sugarcane and is generally grown in tropical environments. Sugar plays an important role in the commerce of many countries, including [[Jamaica]], [[Guatemala]], and [[Bolivia]]. <br /> <br /> Sugar is sweet because it contains sucrose, which is a [[solid]] white saccharide that alters the [[flavor]] of foods. Sucrose is a [[carbohydrate]]&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/carbohydrates-full-story/index.html Carbohydrates]&lt;/ref&gt;.

<p>Mennonite: Jospehine, that is scientifically falacious</p> <hr /> <div>{{RefAppeal}}<br /> A '''squid''' is an aquatic [[cephalopod]] [[mollusc]] with ten tentacles known for its abilities at [[camouflage]], accomplished using special skin cells called [[chromatophores]], and producing ink clouds. There are a large number of species spread across the oceans of the globe. The largest type, the [[Colossal Squid]], can grow to upwards of 46 feet in length from the tip of the caudal fin the the end of the two longer tentacles, while a number of species are only a few inches in length.<br /> <br /> In recent years, the popularity of calamari and other squid dishes have caused their numbers to dwindle.<br /> <br /> Squid, though short-lived, are highly intelligent. Most are active [[predator]]s. Squids are also fairly common in [[mythology]], in which [[giant squid]] known as &quot;[[kraken]]&quot; sink ships at sea. <br /> <br /> [[Category:Molluscs]]<br /> [[Category:Seafood]]</div>
