Question: Family with medical issues dealing with diet. .?
my gf's family has had a variety of medical problems, all resulting in hospital stays, and all due to their diet. two are diabetic (1 just found out, other had for 30 yrs and never did anything about it), one with pancreatic infection, one gall stones, one heal spurs. I think it would be appropriate to being this to their attention, but we are considered the outcasts for both being vegetarian. we get enough problems from them over food issues. including our 5month old boy who we are raising the same. i know it may not be our place to tell them how to live their lives, but can we also sit and do nothing as they all slowly kill themselves when they sit down to dinner.?Health Question & Answer
