All Type "Diabetics are fat and overweight"

[martsnow]

Yesterdays "Birmingham Evening Mail" ran the headline:------

"Diabetic Rolfe Harris overdoses on Chocolate"
And has to be rushed from Prison to Stafford Hospital.--------- This made me smile

Along side this they ran an a piece saying-

........."Type 2 Diabetes which is linked to obesity, and unheatlhy life style".

If only this was the case, but I dont suppose the truth sells Newspapers

So, because I'm niether obese or overweight and eat healthily & excercise would they say I'm not diabetic, it's a bit like saying if you wear glasses you must be blind

Think they have to have a degree in that to become a journalist

Well following from that side line, it would appear that all reporters are biased, ignorant, and have never heard about verifying information before reporting it.

I can't think of any reason why I'd want to read anything printed in the Birmingham Evening Mail
