Some 35 years ago I was a regular commuter on a fairly long distance train to London. There were actually quite a group of us who had got to know each other and there was often a bit of a party atmosphere. Strangers coming into "our" carriage were generally made welcome. One evening there was a young woman of my own age, so I offered her some sweets, she declined saying she couldn't eat sugar, so, feeling generous, I offered some fruit, again declined. I was told, a bit sniffily, that fruit contained sugar - end of conversation. If there had been an internet in the 1980's I expect she would have gone home and had a moan about me.
I don't know why I remembered the incident, but when my husband got his diagnosis, four years ago, it came back to me. Eat five a day, definitely not, FRUIT CONTAINS SUGAR. And so began our low carb journey.
The point I am trying to make, should you still be with me, is that people may be a pain in the bum, but you never know when you might actually be helping or educating someone.
