    Sometimes the choice is economic. Being a working class skank trying to raise three children, I have not had the luxury of becoming a member of a church (where I would have to pledge 5% to 10% of my salary to become a member) or the luxury of paying more in the grocery store for organic food and "healthier" products. Many of my friends and coworkers do not possess such luxuries either. We will go to hell eating our hot dogs because we deal with living day to day.

    Perhaps, like the results of a recent study regarding lung cancer (which found that there is a higher incidence of lung cancer in blacks than other races), likelihood of becoming diabetic is greatly related to genetics. This possibility needs to be explored more before we can declare a political conspiracy related to diabetes. Also, I believe the only way insurance companies could be profiting from radical surgeries performed on the poverty-stricken with diabetes is if those individuals have insurance --most do not. I don't get that correlation in the article. Finally, does McDonalds take food stamps?
