No offense to said diabetics, but if they're type 2 it is very likely eating too many chocolate bars (or chips, pudding, liters of cola, cupcakes, gumdrops....etc) is why they have their ailment in the first place.

In this day in age, with smoking having been banned everywhere, obesity definitely effects me daily much more the smoking and if smokes were to be banned I would want grease, lard, goo and crisco also banned, fair is fair. When I go to the grocery store and have to wait like 7 extra minutes to check out because some big fat guy in front of me is buying like 14 superking bags of Frito Lay, 30 flats of coke and a vat of icing and then needs like 8 minutes to get it all on the roller because he is so overweight....that is when I say....yep obesity is a serious problem that I cannot avoid. I can make a big turn and avoid groups of smokers, avoid walking through entrances where lot of people are smoking but as hard as I try and I cannot get away from slovenly obese people gumming up everyday life.
