Which is your trademark Sin?

Actually, it's leading to an increase in diabetes NOW - what used to be an older person's disease is becoming a young person's disease fast - there are a lot of children under 18 who have type 2 diabetes right now. And I agree with everything you said as well. One of the biggest contributing factors isn't just the high fat food they eat, but also the high sugar drinks - drinking soft drinks at every meal and even worse, those energy drinks like gatorade! If there's anyone who doesn't need these drinks it's sedentary children.

I had to vote all of them too, although I would have preferred 'all of them, some of the time'. Or maybe not all of them, but most anyway. I can't think of any one of them that I would do exceptionally more than the others, but I think I would be guilty of wrath, lust and avarice a bit less often than the others.

Aelia, I didn't want to go into it too much (Aaron is ever-vigilant when it comes to my posts and starts to whine whenever I get too excited about anything that doesn't involve him [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) but you're right! Of course I know that the problem is not fat alone, but as I said generally bad dietary habits including irregular mealtimes, slaking thirst with sugary or "light" drinks rather than water, eating too much fast food, not getting enough fresh veggies and fruit, etc. I'm far from a health Nazi and I love to eat all kinds of stuff but especially with children I think it's really important to teach them good habits and give them a good example when it comes to food. And yes, type 2 diabetes is already a problem but from what I hear (at least in Europe) it will become dramatically more so in some years.

Originally posted by Melusine: What I do find sinful about gluttony is all the overweight children I see around these days. [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] That's just disgustingly bad parenting. Parents have horrid eating habits themselves and are unable to provide a good example to their children - I find that really worrying! Apparently, the huge increase in childhood obesity will lead to a huge increase in diabetes patients later on. How can these parents do that to their kids? What you do when you're an adult is up to you, but to a child, a regular, healthy, not too high-fat diet is SO important!

not to start a big argument here, but parents have to be taught too I am just now learning what is healthy and what is not, my parents meals consisted of a bunch of junk food, now my parents live off of little debbie snack cakes. I guess what I am trying to say is if it is the only life you know, and no one teaches you differently, then who is really to blame? the parents of the parents? or the parents of the parents parents? anyway back on topic here...I am unsure of what my major sin is, mostly because I never really think about it and can not figure out what half of them are really supposed to be but I guess the main one would be envy. because I do envy people who have had and still have a better life than I do.

Like, as in, a lazy sloth?
Or 'Sloth' from The Goonies? (man I loved that movie as a kid! )
