Yesterday while strolling along College Avenue, I passed a couple pushing a stroller with a child – no more than two years old. He sat there like a floppy doll with a big gulp sized soft drink between his legs -straw in his mouth. Yikes! Did you know that last year there were 171 million people worldwide with Diabetes. This statistic is expected to double in the next 30 years. A frightening statistic to be sure, but what can we do to stop this epidemic from growing? With so much information out there you would think it wouldn’t be too hard to educate ourselves. Unfortunately in this fast paced world where we have barely enough time to even just get a nutritious meal in, it’s difficult to find the time to sift through all the information out there. But with so much at stake don’t we owe it to ourselves and our families to try?
Ok, off my soapbox.
