Sidsmom @agb80 . I will never forget her. She told numerous diabetics here that they were sick because they didn't eat a plant based diet. Or if they tried with bad results, such as myself, they didn't do it right.

Thank you. I kinda stayed away from the diabetic threads because I do not know enough about it to comment. My wife's dad died at age 52 of complications related to diabetes.

@hckynut , cherry and I used to have some raging debates with her. The Guru she pushed here allowed 300 fasting blood sugars and told his patients testing on a glucometer was a stress to the patient. As long as you ate your plant based diet you would be OK. Happy times..LOL

@Cakers3 what became of that potato advocate. I don't remember her name, I just remember she made people angry because their health issue was not supposed to consume potatoes yet she was adamant.  I hope she is well.  Wasn't there a thread called plant based something or other??  I think she posted on that as well. 

 

 


@agb80   I'm staying away from that one.  LOL  But yes, it was one of the plant based eating threads.  

 

I know where she lives and it was in an area where COVID  was soaring so I hope she is ok.  I'll leave it at that.

I know that this is going to sound incredibly mean, and I swear that isn't my intention, but I would find it incredibly ironic if the diet that she was so militant about and swore up and down was end all and be all of perfect health, didn't prevent her from getting sick. 

 

 

 

Meaning, she proclaimed that she never got sick and was in perfect health because of her diet, and that her diet prevented all illnesses, and that she would never get sick because of her diet. According to her, all illnesses would be wiped off the face of the earth, if everyone followed her diet. Illnesses and diseases would no longer exist.

 

 

 

If I am going to be perfectly honest, I really don't miss her posts because she basically accused people that it was their own fault for being sick because they didn't follow her  way  of eating. That they brought their illnesses on themselves, because they didn't eat the way that she did. 

 

That was just downright cruel.

Re: Why Do People Ask For Advice...

We one two Jeep wranglers. We know someone who bought one and never owned one. They took it back to the dealership saying there was something wrong with it because it was all over the road. I can only image the laugh the customer serivice people got from this. My husband warned them Jeep's are different. Then they went out and bought the biggest most aggressive tires possible which only make the ride rougher. All through it they asked my husband for advice while ignoring it all. People many times have no interest in advice. It's maddening

@Anonymous032819 , Phoenix bird was a really sweet, caring poster here that just happened to eat a plant based diet. I hope she's OK. I miss her posts..
