"There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1, also referred to as insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, occurs when the pancreas stops producing sufficient insulin. Juvenile diabetes usually occurs before the age of 20. Type 2, or adult-onset diabetes, occurs when the body becomes less sensitive to the effects of insulin.
"Although children with diabetes normally are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, there has been an increase in the number of Type 2 diabetes cases reported in children in the past 10 years, partly because of the increase in obese children."
That's right, moms and dads! I hope the ten minutes you save in the morning by shoving a nitrate/sugar/pre-packaged lunch into your kids' schoolbags is worth the health problems you're giving them before they even have a chance to grow up. You LAZINESS and INDIFFERENCE is producing an epidemic of obese children. TAKE THE F*CKING TIME to feed your kids something remotely good for them! Give them a chance to grow up healthy; they might just outlive you if you do.
