Conquering the greatest silent assassin

AND while we are all raveling in our immense love of food and togetherness, of which i cannot be prouder to be a part of, i must pour some cold water.
BECAUSE AUSTRALIA HAS LAUNCHED A ANTI-DIABETES CAMPAIGN! TAKE THAT OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE USA!
Did you know that Type 2 Diabetes is afflicting almost a million people in australia? Diabetes doesn't sound horrible, but it is the 7th leading cause of death here.
To me, this is great, because the two greatest diseases in the world ain't some Influenza H5N1 from certain wild ducks, or other nasty stuff like HIV, it's really just food. Malnutrition on one end, the Americans with their fat-dripping Mackers on the other.

and the risk factors?
-hereditary
-age
-smoking
-high blood pressure
-type of food

bitch slap me, but i'd suggest, to add to Am's list of Flarian food parties, a vegiesaurus night! i'll bring celery!

and of course, exercise. but then again, i AM exercising!... exercising my finger muscles in 26++ different positions, plus extra push-ups for my right index finger using the "left click" and also a great workout for my cillary, oblique and rectus muscles......... phew i'm tired already typing all these non-sense ;p
