Guess I'll be cutting down on fast food!

Per the New York Times news today, more than one in every eight New Yorkers now have diabetes, and city health officials describe the problem as an epidemic.

"I will go out on a limb and say 20 years from now people will look back and say: 'What were they thinking? They're in the middle of an epidemic and kids are watching 20,000 hours of commercials for junk food.'"
-- DR. THOMAS R. FRIEDEN, New York City health commissioner, on diabetes.

All I can say is, WOW.
