Jeff explains to the reader of the misguided policies of producing cheap sugar-based food sand mass marketing of this as to the number one reason as to why we are losing the battle against diabetes and more and more Americans are getting this unnecessary disease most likely being promoted by the for-profit health industry.
Over three hundred million people around the world are affected by type 2 diabetes and this number is growing in what was once a particular American problem. The author explains the marketing angle and how Coca cola has been marketed as a daily drink as the company ignores the fact of letting the consumer now they are basically swallowing twelve tea spoons of pure sugar cane with every sixteen ounce of cola drink. O'Connell gets emotional talking about his estranged father and how he lost his lefg and became a shallow of himself at an old age and saw first hand the affects of a sugar diet that fucked up his father had become.
