Never said they were , but the vast majority definitely are.

Well, you obviously choose to remain of the same opinion. That's your view. One last try, read up on the definition of risk factor in epidemiology, because I don't think you have grasped it yet. Read the sentence you quoted me again, grammatically. You may not be able to grasp that either, if...

I speak of the majority of type 2 who are or were obese, myself included.

Well done Anna29, please stay as well as you can. No, you're not like the majority of us, you're not in the 80 % who are obese.

Nobody said easy, I 'm saying be honest and while you're about it grow up a little.

Who is kidding who here ? The vast majority of Type 2's have been eating too much and not exercising enough. Simple as that. Yes, those cruel food factories tempted us with nice tasting treats , but not everybody eats them. Yes, it is easy to become a cosy couch potato, but not every body does...
