New Type2 Diabetes Treatment May Provide A Cure

rusty0101 writes "Over at HealthDay, they have an article noting how a new trial drug for Type2 Diabetes may also help provide a cure to diabetes. Its primary benefit is that it does not have the side effect of causing weight gain; in fact on average people in the trial lost 6.3 lb. Note, this isn't a great way to lose weight, but for many Type 2 diabetics, loosing weight can improve their condition." How comfortable would you be swallowing a drug made from Gila monster spit?

Easy way to get rid of type 2 diabetes. Don't do anything. All the fat fucks who live like slobs, eat at McDonald's and sit on the couch all day will be removed from society by Darwin. All the rest of us will be just fine. Increase the selection pressure!

Seriously though. It costs so much money to do medical research. They should concentrate on the diseases that can't be prevented. For example.. the flu. Sure we have flu shots and whatnot, but people still die from it. And getting the flu has little to nothing to do with your lifestyle. If it comes to get you, you got it. Especially if your immune system isn't flawless.

Diabetes however, is almost always the direct result of an unhealthy lifestyle. Spending money to cure it is not going to help society. In fact, its going to make people fatter and lazier. Because now when you tell them, live healthy or you'll get diabetes! They will say "don't worry, they can cure that!" This is not good.

And yes, I understand that the reason things aren't the way I want is because there is more money to be made by letting people be fat and lazy. Its another one of those vicious cycles. Food companies make a lot of money from making people fat. More fat people means more diabetes. More diabetes means that making a cure for it is more profitable. So the drug companies wont try to prevent people from getting it, they'll cooperate with food companies and lobby congress to make more fat people and more diabetes.

I say, if your fat, fuck you.

You'll have to excuse me a little bit, I just watched "Supersize Me".

But I still feel that way you dumbass fat fuckers.
