[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2119315, member: 160246"] I absolutely support efforts to address climate change. I don't support making changes to the diet that will make our diabetes worse, not better. Again, in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2015, 43% of adults age 18 or older, have pre-diabetes or diabetes. I've since heard numerous experts report this year it's now 52%, but I don't know the original source of that information. [I]If true, that's 1 out of 2 adults. [/I] We need to find a way to address both diabetes and climate change. Additionally, we need the animals, not just to feed us [I]but to rebuild the soil[/I]. I'm opposed to CAFO's, and eat only meat from animals that have been fed and raised humanely. I rarely eat out now because restaurants typically serve meat from animals raised in CAFO's, that is not as healthy as meat from animals raised traditionally on their natural diet, and, restaurants also use omega-6, industrial seed oils that make me ill. I'm battling my fourth flare of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) right now, I believe because of the seed oils my local food co-op uses in many of their chicken recipes, also on their roast vegetables, for reasons I don't understand. Since I stopped eating a couple of times a week at our food co-op's hot bar, my flare seems to be remitting. I'm almost back into remission. Diabetes is on the increase. Autoimmune disease is on the increase. I don't know what percentage of diabetics also have autoimmune disease, but I have both. Animal protein is the best protein for me, but only humanely raised meat. I do not tolerate well plant based proteins: legumes, beans, and grains. Those with diabetes and chronic kidney disease don't tolerate animal or plant based proteins well, and need to take essential amino acid supplements that are very expensive. Save the planet? Yes. Slowly kill off a significant percentage of the population? No. [/QUOTE]
