Did we just step through the looking glass into Wonderland? Let me get this straight: what you're saying is that, since they now realize that potatoes are just as bad for diabetics as sugar, instead of telling them not to eat potatoes, they tell them it's ok to eat sugar? Can you say criminally irresponsible?
Of course the pharmaceutical companies, the doctors, and the hospitals will all benefit financially if they can convince diabetics that up is down and day is night. (I really never used to be this cynical!)
