Great. Tell me how a person knows what's the "right amount?" Well for 10s of thousands of years our finely tuned hormones did an awesome job of that. And when we ate a little less than needed, our bodies turned to stored fat as fuel - effortlessly. When we ate a bit more than needed, our metabolism ramped up a little and burned it off, or put some on storage. Normal weight took no effort, no thought, just eating when hungry, until full.
A thousand years ago a person couldn't hunter/gather 5,000 calories a day without burning any calories. You keep missing the point where people are eating massive amounts of high calorie low nutrition crap because they enjoy it and it is easy but then also don't work out at all.
Now flood your system with insulin - a permanent state of affairs for a diabetic on a typical diet of half the calories from carbs or more - and your body CANNOT access stored fat. So you eat less at breakfast, and it runs out of glucose in your blood, and so your body screams at you to eat more glucose because it cannot access fat stores and needs fuel NOW. If you don't eat you get light headed, dizzy, cannot think, are irritable, weak, if it goes too low, it's a medical emergency. That's the life of a diabetic. That has nothing to do with "easy, comfortable, convenient" but ignoring your body telling you it's in a crisis state, so eat now, and so they do.
You ignore the part where on how that person became a T2 diabetic in the first place, but hey, that's life. Eat better. Stop eating pure sugary diets. If you can't figure that out, its darwinian.
Cool, so your 'advise' is to tell half the country to **** off and die. Good plan. Write your Congressman.
I call it "accountability", while you want the Nanny-State to hold everyone's hand and explain every nuance in life to them and give them a scape goat.
Look, go do Heroin, play in traffic, swim with the sharks, and live on Twinkies and Mountain Dew. I don't care so long as you don't interfere with society. If people want to kill themselves either quickly or slowly, great, do that.
The simple fact is the resources and information is out there for people who want help. That doesn't mean you get a nanny, someone to prepare your meals, provide your meals, or anything else. It means you have to do the work to balance your diet and manage your body weight. If you don't, pound sand and die quietly in the corner.[/QUOTE]
