[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2039312, member: 408573"] Please be aware that the terminology we use can affect those who have suffered, sometimes on a daily basis, the growing stigma of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. Remember that up to 20% of those diagnosed with Pre Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes are not overweight or obese so judging one person by what they have in their trolley is not a good guide you would have to judge everyone's trolley and, to be honest, it is no one's job to judge in the first place. Simply put, what you are saying is that if a slim person has Doritos and chocolate cake in their trolley then that's just fine and dandy but if an overweight person has the same products in their trolley then they should know better. There's no difference, we are all at risk. You may find the recent presentations by Gary Taubes interesting, he covers the 'Slim people telling non slim people where they're going wrong' scenario. Please do not become an ex "lump" who has become slim and as smug as the 'I've always been a healthy eater/excerciser' slim person who judges. Please see my signature. [/QUOTE]
