I live in Colima, MX, and 30-40% of the adult population here have **Diabetes! It doesn’t help that there’s a looong tradition in town of eating sweet bread for breakfast, as well as lots of sweet snacks during the course of the day.
It was a bit embarrassing, when dining at a great Italian restaurant to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, the owner brought out a large, very sweet concoction, as a gift for the two of us. We had to sit there & poke at it a bit, but ended up leaving most of the stuff behind. We DID explain that we don’t eat sweets at all, but their feelings obviously were hurt. *Everyone here just eats sweets ALL DAY LONG!!!
So, the good ol’ USA is not gettin’ Super-Sized all alone!
