Sorry, *I* know why; I was being facetious. Everyone knows that good meats,
fresh vegetables and healthy fats cost more than spaghetti, day-old bread
and margarine.
But this woman mentioned poverty's role in diabetes without no explanation
whatsoever. It was a 'what' without a 'why.' Sheez!
By the way, I have a Word document detailing PDPIR food subsidies, how the
feds 'treat' diabetes among Native Americans, US nutrition policy in
general, etc. Anyone intersted can write me privately; it's too big to post
here. Or I could post parts in seperate messages. Gimme your verdict.
