[QUOTE="walnut_face, post: 1686040, member: 292414"] The presenter may be correct in raising lifestyle, but we all take it the wrong way. The media have used the terms of lifestyle and obesity as the reason people become T2. It plays to the audience (particularly the daily wail) that this is the fault of the individual in committing at least 2 of the 7 deadly sins, and therefore no taxpayer pounds should be spent on them. Now lets look at lifestyle in another way. Assuming your username is based on were you live, just look around you and the landscape of Kent today. The hop gardens have largely gone, and those that do remain, the hops are picked by machine. The coal mines have gone, the railway works at Ashford, now a retail outlet. Normans Motorcycles, where are they now? Blue Circle cement in North Kent, shipbuilding in Faversham, Paper mills in Sittingbourne, Kemsing and Alyesford? All gone, replaced by call centres and office jobs, where folk are tied to a phone or keyboard all day. The dangers at work are no longer mines collapsing or lung conditions but a lack of movement while at work leading to IR All IMHO of course [/QUOTE]
