I know it's to do with sugar intake. It just so happens, however, that many people (and yes, I know correlation does not prove causation) who eat sugary foods do not exercise enough to use that excess sugar, thus forcing the body to store it as fat. Although some people develop type 2 diabetes in later life idiopathically, most cases are related to sugar intake.

People do not develop type 2 diabetes from eating salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Making insurance companies suffer financially for that is simply unfair, and oppposes all concepts of free enterprise.

Now, how many times am I going to have to repeat that?
