are we perhaps too quick to blame what you are referring to generically as the "Western" diet.
I have heard diabetes is greatly on the rise in Japan, China and India.
perhaps it is their level of carbohydrate consumption (i.e. rice and wheat) that is causing the problem?
also, i agree that MacD is high in fat - but it is even higher in Carbs. everyone blames the fat meat and the fact that chips are fried in fat for MacDs poor nutrition. BUT, perhaps it is the carbs that are equally (if not more) to blame.
i think these arguments need to be considered.
