[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly you care less about what you eat than the two thirds of Americans who AREN'T pre-diabetic. [/quote]

I wasn’t pre diabetic until I moved to the states.  That’s the point.[/quote]

The point people keep making is that when you moved to the States, you made poor choices.  Your poor choices were your own.  Perhaps you weren't educated about nutrition and this is why you made poor choices.  But the choices were your own, and nobody forced you to make them.  [/quote]

Because 90% of choices are bad here and [b]it’s really hard and expensive to pursue good choices. [/b]Get it?[/quote]

No, no it’s not. Drive yourself to the nearest grocery store, buy fresh fruits and vegetables and lean proteins, drive back home and cook them yourself. Do not go to Taco Bell or McDonald’s or Starbucks on the way home. Et voila.[/quote]

I went to university in America and it was super easy to find healthy options.  In fact, there were many vegan and healthy restaurant options, OP, many of them.  Also, I actually used to shop a lot in a convenience store near my apartment where there was an entire aisle filled with dried lentils and pulses, which we used to use for cooking super cheap, healthy meals.  And fruits and vegetables were never hard to find: American grocery stores are huge and have so many options.  There were even MORE healthy options there because the selections were just so broad.  But I understood what kinds of food I should be buying and eating, and how to balance meals and cook, and I think that is where we differ, OP.  I truly do not understand what you mean by '90% of choices are bad here'.  This was not my experience at all in the US.
