With Friends like this… Big Food & Big Pharma
I look at McDonald’s fries now and I know that……….they’re not *really* fries. Sadly they contain harmful ingredients and perhaps even more than what we know those to be… breaks my heart. The “food” we see in front of us? It is just “food-like products”….all sick, sick lies. I am sad.

Paula Deen and Diabetes
I knew it was coming; I gritted my teeth for as long as I could… Paula Deen is a diabetic … shocker! She’s just like I was… an obese, carb eating machine. The surprise is that it took this long for her to be diagnosed. Who knows, she may have actually been diabetic years ago… …
Is it just me? Or is the ADA ….
First let’s look at a few facts. 1) 90% of diabetics fail at maintaining normal blood sugar, if you doubt that… read this post. “90% Fail“.

Diabetes Fundraising over Education?
Please bear with me during the first part of this post… please? … I am in an ill mood! “Why?”, you ask. November is ‘diabetes awareness month’.

Who benefits from this recipe, Diabetics?

Fat Metabolism Pathways Study
An article was published yesterday and I felt compelled to comment. The title of the post, “Evolutionary Conservation of Fat Metabolism Pathways“.

$19 million paid to ADA by BigPharma?
This post will be discussing the “contributions” BigPharma paid the American Diabetes Association… $19 million in 2008. That’s the last year I can find the data. New friends may not be aware of this… if not YOU SHOULD BE SHOCKED. this is unethical and immoral but 2012 was even worse, $31 million reasons. This …
ADA, “What Diabetes Looks Like?”
The picture below is the twitter page “bio” for THE American Diabetes Association. Just a quick comment before we move on to the “meat” of the post. (The ADA dislikes meat, they recommend only 5 oz per day. ) The ADA says, “… leading the fight to stop diabetes and all of it’s deadly consequences.” …
My Paleo Dream
No… sadly, this was not a dream where all the people ran around in loin cloths. HA! This was a day dream concerning our national nutrition … Imagine a time when an overweight teenage boy goes to the pediatrician. The boy and his parents are sitting in the doctors office and the the doctor after …

A suggestion was made that people in government should wear uniforms like Nascar drivers showing who is ‘sponsoring’ them. Personally I agree. …

Summary of Diabetes Educator Rants
I placed the date in the title for a reason…. I do not have high hopes for a change in the American Ass. of Diabetes Educators (AADE). In case I am right, I want to be able to use the same title next year… :( Why am I so negative about the outlook? Answer: NUMEROUS studies …

Another school year nears and schooling is in conversations. Did you hear about the proposal to issue ‘E’ grades in school? This got me to thinking… what grade would we assign the ADA?? We should judge them against their mission statement, the American Diabetes Ass.’s mission statement is… well, I’ll let them tell you… 1) …
ADA Minion’s Diabetes Myths
I am an easy going guy… I usually do not let things get to me. HOWEVER, since being diagnosed with Diabetes and seeing what a low carb food pyramid can do … I really get angry when someone promotes a high carb meal plan as being the preferred diabetic diet. I REALLY get fired up …
