The cdc projects that 1/3 of Americans will have diabetes by 2050 if we don't change our habits.
I've said before I don't support the soda ban. But getting tired of people who don't believe diabetes is a disease or who are so pissy about people telling them how to take better care of themselves. There is another thread talking about health care costs spiraling out of control, yet a stubbirnness on our end to acknowledge that our shitty health habits are contributing to that. |

It's just that it's supposed to be a personal responsibility not govt responsibility to babysit them to do it.

People in NY should all go out and celebrate by pouring a bunch of these to each other and heading out to the streets to celebrate.

People have proven they can't take care of themselves on their own, and it is driving up massive health care costs. The idea that people will magically stop eating their way into diabetes without a significant push is beyond naive. Add in that in many cases, people aren't personally responsible because poor labeling makes it almost impossoble to understand what we are putting in our bodies, and poor education has people who literally believe that the are eating healthy because they ordered a salad at McDonald's. This is one of those head scratchers to me. In many cases, a government solution doesn't violate personal freedoms and could potentially eliminate a shitload of money by promoting preventative measures that will reduce health care costs. If the government spends money that leads to significant control of health care costs, why wouldn't we consider it? And again, I am talking about controlling behavior, not monitoring it. |

It is naive to believe this problem fixes itself without massive intervention. |

Hey government get the **** out of our lives, we do not need to be told by THOSE who work for us what they think we need to own, who we can get married to or what we eat or drink. As long as we obey the laws in place and do not cause others harm the pig****ers in DC can enjoy their life of leisure provided by us~

So... It doesn't cause other people harm? If we lowered obesity, we'd all have better access to health care with more coverage at a significantly lower premium. |
