    As much i love a good trashing of politican the real quote was “Maybe we need to treat more diabetes with cooking classes, not just throwing insulin at people,”

    Better diet really could help prevent type 2 diebetes and personally i think prevention is always better solution than treatment.

      Hum… but your quote indeed uses “treat”, I am no expert, but I feel it might be the verb form of “treatment”…

        Great. Everybody has right for feelings.

        Its almost like language is funny thing that can be ambiguous and interpreted in many ways. Often the way it suits the person reading it the best.

        Im not expert but one might think that in this particular contects he might be using word treat as in the saying “prevention is the best medicine.” And some asshole could comment “I am no expert, but I feel prevention might not be medicine at all”

        I dont like the dude and in all truth i could not care less about americans assbackwards medical care system, but i just hate when people take things out of context and try to spin it the way it is best for their own agenta moving the conversation towards hating person/country/religion/political group/ what ever they want instead of thinking that the person might have some idea.

        Like in this case we could be writing how we could effect how to get people eat healthier instead of being smartasses.

      I guess I agree with that in certain contexts. I remember my buddy became a real nutrition expert after his diagnosis. Kind of taught us all about balancing carbs and fiber and reducing sugar, etc.
