[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2203323, member: 196898"] If I was not a diabetic struggling to keep control of my condition to reduce risk of collateral damage, then I would not have done the research I have done into finding out how my body works, and how it relates to what I eat. It also, as you point out, provides me with the tools I need such as bgl meters, periodic blood tests for a fairly full panel of tests that normal people do not get unless they have a chronic condition to justify it, So I can see quite quickly what effects food has on my health. I also do detailed researches into related conditions sich as thyroid, heart, cardiovascular, since there are often tie ins too, and, as it turns out, I have problems in those departments too. So I am a walking living breathing, and vocal advocate for trying to improve my lifestyle in favour of better health and reducing my medication needs. So far my journey has taken me to following a certain diet that is essentially low carb, and to get there I use meat and dairy products as an integral part of it. Like you and many others reading this thread, I find that I am intolerant to carbohydrates, and the vegan style diet would be a disaster for me. I hve proven this several times recently so I would love to add my (n=1) experience to all the others. I think this global march to a vegan WOE is going to have dire consequences for the human race and also the animal kingdom that will be irreversible. Sadly the research I have done shows that there are other less prescriptive ways of tackling the problems we face. In my mind there is a major differnece between suggesting someone gives up meat, vs forcing it upon them by legislating land reassignment and punitive taxes, and public guilt shaming. I hope this thread remains open, and that everyone takes this subject seriously since it will affect all of us in one way or another. We need to discuss how to move forward into an uncertain future and what pitfalls there may be on the way. I am concerned that the proposed way of eating will replace my current diet with one that is more restrictive, more nutrient deficient, and will enforce a more restrictive treatment regime (insulin dependancy) upon me, and I do not go willingly to that fate.
