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.

Yes, the blog is on a “cartoon jag”. I have several in mind and while I could create these and schedule “posts” … patience has never been a characteristic of mine. :) This was said yesterday, “cartoons fit your humor” … not sure if that was a compliment or not… :)) If you enjoy them …

Background: I have ranted and railed against the American Diabetes Association (ADA) numerous times. That was fun…and therapeutic but there was no “sport in it”… the ADA is an easy mark.

January 1999 I began to feel flu like sick and lost 70 pounds in 10 days. While the weight loss was great, or so I thought, I still decided to go see my doctor. I found out that like millions of people around the world, I had turned into Type 2 Diabetic. And it wasn’t …
I can and do eat chili year round … but had not made it recently…. that all changed this morning. In my opinion, low carb “primal” chili is a great food for diabetics… and it is what I call a “3-2” pitch in my personal diabetic diet. Truly, it’s a great food for EVERYONE! Why? … …
Before I begin, I need to define an ADA Minion for new readers. ADA stands for American Diabetes Association…. supposedly the largest advocate for diabetics in the US… yet they promote a “diabetic diet” that increases drug and insulin usage…. go figure. Minion = “a servile follower or subordinate of a person in power.” (per dictionary.com) Therefore an ADA Minion is a servile follower …

I am ending my Fitday.com journal entries for awhile. I know… this is not FRONT PAGE news but I wanted to let everyone know who may care so they can check out the summary. (below) FYI – I changed my mind…. several people found this valuable so I will continue. Thanks for the feedback. :) …
Update: Since I originally wrote this post much has been made about the ‘money connections’ with members of the government. the medical industry should wear nascar-style jackets. government officials should wear nascar-style jackets. A suggestion was made that people in government should wear uniforms like Nascar drivers showing who is ‘sponsoring’ them. Personally I agree. …
