Even the sun shines on a dogs ass some days.

He's not wrong, he's just right for the wrong reasons.

90% of diabetics in the US are type 2. 90%.Our food culture is way out of whack, and we need to fix it.

Obviously diabetics still need medical care. But revamping the way we view food will allow many Americans to keep the amount of feet they were born with.

I mean yes, he is wrong. They'd still need the fucking insulin. Even if type 2 is reversible, it's not going to be immediate.

Dude didn't say, "we should be encouraging these people to eat better" because we already do that. Of course we already do that.

He said that they should take cooking classes instead of insulin.

Stop giving these ghouls the benefit of the doubt. They literally want you dead.

If one was inclined to fix this epidemic it wouldn’t be by just denying care it would be about educating people, including with free cooking classes, making sure good, healthy foods are plentiful and affordable, it would be about making sure third spaces exist to help people get out of their homes and into their communities to be active and build stronger support systems, it would be about providing medical mentoring and preventive care for free or ultra low cost. He’s not trying to help people with diabetes he’s trying to kill them and why they have diabetes doesn’t matter to him
