We went on a trip to NY and it turns out that it agreed with this that you name or similar, and do you know because I find out?What did they stop to give me the charta, hahahaha ... and what did I tell them?That it was diabetic, and that with the food in that country there were still few diabetics, hahaha ...

Pq is not that they eat badly, no, they eat worse !!!I have never had sugar as bad as that week, and that they were kicked with 12 hours, and without eating sweets, just the normal food there ...

Anyway, they would have to change so many aspects of the diet .... Also the cheaper is the food, the more sugar it carries, that is why some sectors are more affected than others, because those that are from Money do not eat the same as those of classmedium or low.

@Anzazuleg how small is the world!:)) :)) :)) :))

Certainly, there is much more complicated to maintain a healthy diet, or at least, without leaving the salary only in that!

maneee .... I also had been there for three days complaining about how bad he ate, and when they stopped me ... that the one I stop was a Hispanic, I lack time to tell him a few things, that rests left me,:))
