I'm more of an anti-foodie. I'm a diabetic who doesn't medicate. That means I have to carefully monitor both and exercise. To tackle the food part I've operated on the premise that all food is a necessary poison. I no longer look to food for any sort of pleasure although it sometimes occurs. And I avoid as morally bankrupt, restaurants that feature monstrous entrees or those overloaded with carbohydrates or both. I'm a vegan at banquets and I don't accept dinner invitations without informing my host of my attitude toward food. I've sat with my hands in my lap at dinner parties where I've been served food that I feel will endanger my life. My A1c is 6.2 and has been for a long time.
