I don't believe there's going to be a crisis.
Originally posted by FMFI doubt the veracity of the stats. It comes from an organisation with a vested interest, like the environmental organisations that paint a bleak picture from their stats, they're just looking to suck a little more blood.

If you attach some importance to the stats, take a look at your own diet and exercise regime and adjust as/if necessary, but get this idea into your head, a persons body is their own most personal possession besides maybe the thoughts in their mind, they are responsible for it, get your hands off.
Originally posted by WajomaAh yes well this explains the page or two of non-sequiturs we got from you. The OP says, quite clearly, "If it turns out that the National Institutes of Health are right..." and then asked - based on that premise - you if have any predictions on how the free market might react to a health crisis like that. LOL. No wonder you've been all over the place. You haven't been reading the posts you're responding to.

My first post explained it pretty clearly.

If it turns out that the National Institutes of Health are right, and by 2050, 1-in-3 Americans will have type 2 diabetes, (a) does anyone have any conjecture or predictions about how the private sector and free market might address or react to this health issue, and (b) what steps - if any - should the U.S. government take?
