But what if someone gets actively involved by doing what's recommended left, right, up and down? Even better, what if someone depends on the government for food? This goes farther than you think; food subsidies for the indegent, yes, but also public school lunches, military rations, prison meals... You name it, if it's from the gubment it's high starch and low fat. We've discussed this here before but if you're new, write me (PRIVATELY!) and I'll send you some innnnnteresting documentation. I'd especially love to see Native Americans file suit against Uncle Sam; they are hit harder by diabetes more than ANY other ethnic group in the US and rely on federal food subsidies more than your average John Q. Citizen, to boot. No mystery what's goin' on here, Scooby!
