[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2408516, member: 101136"] Hi TZ, Hope your good buddy. Thanks for highlighting this petition you seem passionate about. I won't be signing this petition. There have some realy good points made above by others reasoning why not.. A buffet would probably require a set of weiging scales supplied at the end of the buffet service counter. Then there is probably the faff of trying to tot it all up in front of an audience? ;) Ordering something like a fry up at some hotels at the breakfast table can be done to specification & taste. though I dodge the beans & hash browns, I am a sucker for fried bread so I know the carb count of the average round of white.. I feel it all comes down to experience with balancing insulin. But let's be fair. In the real world there can be other factors when things not go to plan with a precise carb count. Insulin timing, insulin sensitivity at the time of day, fats in the meal, & alcahol consumed too. So, I would feel it unfair putting the onus on the resteraunt or caterer in the form of further legal requirements that essentially do the carb counting for me.. Blimey, they are already taking away the cooking & washing up.. :) [/QUOTE]
