Another lurker post

From the comments/tips box comes this from Lurker: He/she makes a good point about "our collective behavior".....



Tom, In regards to the obesity posts, one comment is that to make matters worse, diabetes is also closely associated with the obesity epidemic. According to a report released today, 3 out of 5 people with type 2 diabetes suffer from at least one related complication like: kidney problems, eye disease, foot problems, stroke, vascular problems etc. In other words, existing nutrition and physical activity habits are snowballing into a wide spectrum disease pattern. So while we value individual responsibility our collective behavior is seriously getting in the way of safety and happiness. http://www.stateofdiabetes.com/index.html
