I drink Zevia (natural diet pop) because I’m diabetic, and they encourage their patrons to suggest flavors. I’m not really fond of citrus flavors, and I can’t drink caffeine, so that limits me to their root beer. To me, “spicy apple cider” sounds like it would taste really good as a soda. I wanted to know how many people agree with me. Just say “yes” or “no.”
CJP asked:
When a person before the age of “modern medicine” say 1900 or so had a terminal illness, natural selection and the absense of a cure would cause that particular person to die prematurely, in which case, they could not pass their defect or disease on to any offspring (if they didn’t have any yet).
Now, medicine has evolved to where we are keeping people serious diseases such as depression, diabetes, asthma, etc alive with drugs. Diabetes, in particular, is a problem of the future as the rate of diagnosis is climbing every year.
This hits on a personal note because I have serious asthma and probably would have died before the age of 5 if there wasn’t today’s medicine. Now I am worried about passing that on to any children I might have, and I’m considering not having any due to this and some other conditions I have, such as degenerated discs in my back at the age of 15. I’m 28 now….
My feeling is that the reason health care costs are astronomical is because each person has more problems today because we aren’t weeding out the weak or defective.
Opinions?
I know that she is supposed to be on a high protein restricted diet, but she doesn’t really like meat very much. It’s really difficult to get her to eat anything at all. Oh, and she’s also diabetic 🙁
