excessive sugar intake being a likely causative effect
This is meme-level reasoning borne of the misunderstanding that because people with T2D should reduce their sugar intake T2D must be caused by sugar intake.
Anyone with any actual medical education would understand this.
Jury nullification is corruption.
It involves 12 people falsely stating that a defendant is not guilty despite their belief that they are guilty. How is that not a perversion of the court process?
How do you want the law to be different? Murdering CEOs ought to be permissible?
So witty.
I'm not offended, I'm trying to explain that you're ignorant and arrogant.
Yeah.
There's waaay worse things you can catch.
Just gonna be blunt and say that this is a pretty shitty misconception, like saying cancer sufferers didn't pray hard enough or something.
I'm T2D. I'm not going to provide my "fitness creds" (because why would you believe me anyway) but I'll just say it's absolutely not possible that my T2D is caused by poor diet or lack of exercise.
T2D is caused by insulin in insufficient quality or quantity. The pancreas produces insulin. Some people just have a shitty pancreas that produces shitty insulin that doesn't work. If you're overweight then fatty pancreas makes it worse, but it's not the underlying cause.
If you have T2D you can't store glucose effectively, it hangs around in your blood and fucks everything up. Consequently you shouldn't consume carbohydrates which your liver covers to glucose.
T2D is not caused by the consumption of sugar, but people with T2D cannot process sugar.
For a newly diagnosed person with T2D, diet and exercise is indeed the first recommendation, because the meds suck and losing some weight might make smaller doses more effective.
I, and others like me, lost the genetic lottery. I have to stick to an incredibly restrictive diet, and bullshit exercise regime, to delay the inevitable deterioration of my health. Even so I will be lucky to live to 60, and if I do ill probably have ass cancer or amputations or dead kidneys or some other fuckery.
Honestly, stick your "diet and lifestyle" misconceptions up your jumper.
Was I pretending?
I really just want people to think about what they actually want. Lemmy doesn't have much self awareness on this issue.
You can't complain about Trump not facing justice but simultaneously want Luigi to walk.
Luigi is a hero, but he needs to face trial and should be convicted if there is sufficient evidence.
There's a huge variety in condiments.
Mayo is egg, vinegar, and oil.
Fats (oil) are super complicated. Some are very bad for you like canola oil (but they're also cheap) while some are very good for you like olive oil (EVOO) (but it's very expensive).
Some Mayo varieties will have these three ingredients and an emulsifier to help it stay nice on the shelf.
Others will have heaps of sugar and bullshit flavours.
The difference in nutritional value is huge.
Pretty much, because when you really nail down what you're protesting about, you want exemptions from the law for people you like, which is just bonkers frankly.
I agree that it's probably a sensational article. No matter what the numbers actually are - it's too early to draw a line to Trumps policy decisions.
It's cherry picking, but I'll point out the 15% increase in the cost of eggs due to Avian flu. I mean, if we blamed Biden for inflation over the last several years then we can place this at Trump's door step surely?
In any case, I look forward to seeing the MAGA-splaining in the coming months.
