They need to loose weight.....would solve most of the problem.....
I have an old friend, a Church goer, who has Type 2 diabetes and a heart condition. He is grossly overweight.
He refuses to even consider changes to his diet, declaring that he is on "low fat" and that's the end of that discussion.
I mentioned to his wife that "low fat" has been pretty much disregarded/discarded nowadays as ineffective, but she just rolls her eyes. I suggested Keto or at least low carb and her response was she would rather follow the "low carb" regime despite the fact that it isn't working. BTW, this woman is a registered nurse.
Long story short, it is completely illogical that a person with a potentially deadly condition would refuse to even discuss a cure that has been proven to work.
I think it speaks to the power that eating, food, and gluttony has over people in general.
Society speaks clearly in its disapproval of alcohol and drug abuse, but not about the addiction to food.
