[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 591722, member: 44622"] We have had similar debates before or at least some with a similar tendency. There was the one where a poster wanted to know if we would buy "Diabetic Food" from a market stall and most contributors said that they wouldn't. There was a poster who wanted "Diabetic Food" to be sold in supermarkets because he/she didn't want to think about it and really wanted someone else to decide what he/she could eat. My problem with a "Diabetic" department in supermarkets is that there is no guarantee that they would get it right when the NHS can't. Worse still they might take advice from the NHS and push the healthy plate. Even worse yet they may have staff who "know" about diabetes and provide mystery meals in cardboard boxes with messages on the box like DIABETIC FRIENDLY .....HONEST. In reality the meat counter is diabetic friendly if the meat is still recognisable as coming from an animal. The veg department is diabetic friendly unless you eat large amounts of carrots and parsnips. Just avoid the bread, cakes and ultra processed food and the whole supermarket is diabetic friendly.
