How Does That Happen?

(YouTube link)

A heart attack at 32. Let’s rewind to see how this happened. This powerful anti-obesity PSA from Your Nutrition Spot gets you right where you live. Makes me glad that my parents never kept junk food or soda around when I was young, and sweets were a rare treat. I have too many unhealthy friends who weren’t as “deprived.” -via reddit


I have diabetes. I did not get it from junk food or pop. I think I'd had one can of Coke in my entire life before I was diagnosed at age five. My diabetes is an autoimmune disease, but because of lines like yours about "diabetic friends," people automatically assume I got diabetes because I was fat, because my parents fed me junk food when I was a kid, or because I drank too much sugared pop. How about you stop using stereotypes and inform yourself about diabetes.

They believe I was fat as a child and that my parents must have fed me too much junk food and/or that my school must have had pop and junk food in vending machines. (My parents did not feed me junk food and my school had no vending machines.)
