yeah that makes sense put your life in your own hands and die trying versus using proven medicine
Hey Marty! Every legal resident in the USA should have the same health insurance as you, dumbfuck. That would solve a lot of problems in 3rd World USA.
Wouldn't they still need insulin though? Even if in lesser quantities.
Not against state funded mandatory cooking classes though if it'll help people eat healthier alongside insulin, though.
They get away with this shit because a lot of us don't actually engage them back in places that matter. Sure we all talk here but it's not like we're very visible. Right now, and for the next year, this comment will be shared on all other social media with a gaggle of agreement. But we will forget this by tomorrow. So they can saw say whatever they want really
For some reason Millennials decided that engaging them back was bad because it legitimatized them or something.
RFK is enacting Aktion 74 as part of the construction of the american reich.
Even the sun shines on a dogs ass some days.
He's not wrong, he's just right for the wrong reasons.
90% of diabetics in the US are type 2. 90%.Our food culture is way out of whack, and we need to fix it.
Obviously diabetics still need medical care. But revamping the way we view food will allow many Americans to keep the amount of feet they were born with.
If one was inclined to fix this epidemic it wouldn’t be by just denying care it would be about educating people, including with free cooking classes, making sure good, healthy foods are plentiful and affordable, it would be about making sure third spaces exist to help people get out of their homes and into their communities to be active and build stronger support systems, it would be about providing medical mentoring and preventive care for free or ultra low cost. He’s not trying to help people with diabetes he’s trying to kill them and why they have diabetes doesn’t matter to him
Yes and no for US. We have folks lining up for ice cream at Walmart and jabbing insulin with it. Diabetes is a diet disease (T2). My A1C was north of 15 when diagnosed. I did go the diet route and managed it before 5.7 for 4 years and now finally it's creeping up to 5.9. It's a chronic disease and will get worse with time.
Other issue I find is it is expensive to eat healthy in US. So either we need to provide cheaper healthier option or we need to provide insulin. We cannot take them both away.
Food that's bad for you is often cheap to transport and preserve for long periods. An apple will rot in weeks, but a twinkie can sit on a shelf for years.
The industrialization of agriculture has been highly profitable for a handful of insiders and horrible for everyone else.

Industrialization of agriculture is what keeps enough calories flowing from the farms to the people.
Commercialization of foods - processed foods, fast food restaurants, chain restaurants, ex-tobacco industry leadership of the food companies, that's the biggest driver of "horrible" - unless you're profiting from the healthcare costs that are ballooning with American waistlines.
it is expensive to eat healthy in US
Expensive and inconvenient.
If you're not cooking for yourself, 95%+ of what's available for "low effort" is sugar coated salty fat bombs. That's what "free market" competition in restaurants gets you: hyper-attractive foods.
Maybe investigate dishwashing liquid.... Could that stuff be part of the cause for obesity and diabetes?
