Reply to "Wal-Mart rant"

I get what vick is saying. My brother was told by his doc that he was pre-diabetic(type 2). His youngest son, who is a junior in high school is headed that way. My brother has since lost a tremendous amount of weight by changing his eating habits. My nephew however eats junk and remains overweight, and that's because he has a full arsenal of junk at his beck and call because they buy it for him. Most claim buying junk food is more convenient, but how hard is it to eat an apple or peel and orange as opposed to opening a bag of cheetos.

Type 1 diabetes is different, however:
"Type 2 diabetes used to occur mainly in adults who were overweight and ages 40 and older. Now, as more children and adolescents in the United States become overweight and inactive, type 2 diabetes is occurring more often in young people." from here: http://ndep.nih.gov/diabetes/youth/youth_FS.htm
