In french, why is this sentence written with des and not les see below for what i mean.?

I can't read French anymore, but the reason is this...if you say le or les or la, you mean all of it. For instance if you want sugar, you say du sucre, not le sucre. Du meaning some of the sugar. Le meaning all of the sugar that exists. I haven't taken French since 1971, but I remember that because Sr. Marie Clothilde drummed it into my head.
