I took 3 children to Woburn last year. All had packed lunches from parents.. Meant to be a picnic. The 2 brothers literally had pork pies, sausage rolls and crisps. The little girl (different parents) had lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and carrot sticks which she had to eat before having strawberries and cream.
The boys at 9 and 11 are obese. The future may well turnout that the two boys don't get problems but the healthy eating young girl does...
We are all pretty much guinea pigs nowadays.... Nobody can pinpoint the causation of T2.
I remain convinced it is something environmental in some way but what?? Media plays a large part in blaming obesity with diabetes.
Actually, mentioning media...
I've realised I'm wearing my 'Holiday's are coming.......' Coca cola t shirt, bought from Tesco's.
The iconic fizzy drink, that seems to epitomise all that's bad with the carb and sugar glut.
But I bought it as it also epitomised the drink I grew up with in the iconic bottle, that dates back to the good old days, well before the diabetes epidemic, it's been sold since 1886, and in the iconic bottle from 1915.
So how can the sugar in coke have any effect?
Interestingly, they changed from corn syrup, to fructrose in 1985.
