Let me apologize in advance. I'm sorry if the following is offensive. But it's the way I feel - obviously, or I wouldn't take the time to post.

Obesity is strongly linked to type 2 diabetes. Obesity is also linked to to type 1 diabetes.

If you make sh$tty life choices, and/or you allow your children to do the same - I do not feel sorry for you if you get diabetes related to gluttony. Get a freaking clue. This just sickens me. It's laziness. It's ignorance.

On another note, kinda on-topic - The USA should have a national health care plan. If you want to call it socialized medicine, so be it. Germany and Canada both have systems we could use as blueprints. We need to cut the insurance companies out of the equation and start holding people responsible for their own health.

****mann_up quietly steps down from soap box and says a prayer to himself (as there is no god to pray to) that there hasn't been a fatwah issued against him for his belligerence.*****
