A healthy plant-based diet will turn around pre-diabetic and diabetic conditions in a matter of just weeks. Not resolve these conditions, but seriously improve them, and definitely move the person in the right direction — without drugs. Compex carbohydrates and lots of fiber, not much meat or oil. But this would require no processed food at all.
One would need to go radically from the SAD diet to a healthy plant-based diet overnight. That would be the challenge. And most people don’t have the insight into nutrition to be able to do that, and then there is the issue of having the willpower to do it, which is also problematic.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
