Fat Content Does Matter

Because blood sugar jumps with carbohydrates but not with fat, many people with diabetes ignore the fat content of their meals.

But "dietary fat is just as much a problem as sugar," says Anne Daly, registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at the Springfield (Ill.) Diabetes and Endocrine Center.

Fat provides many calories (about 120 per tablespoon) and hinders weight control.

And the type of fat matters. Saturated and trans fats are linked to higher cholesterol levels and an increase in risk for heart disease – already your most likely cause of death. Studies also suggest that saturated fat worsens blood glucose control by affecting your body's response to insulin.

Limit unhealthy fats by avoiding stick margarine and packaged foods made with partially hydrogenated oils, poultry skin and animal fat, including dairy and fried foods.
Take Action:
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"
And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

Bill giving gay federal workers full benefits reintroduced
By Ed O'Keefe and Eric Yoder - 11/18/2011 - Washington Post

The two senators who led the fight to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell' policy are once again trying to extend full domestic benefits to the partners of gay federal employees.
 
As they have during the last two congressional sessions, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Friday reintroduced their Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act, noting that approving the bill would put the federal government on par with Fortune 500 corporations that already extend full benefits to the same-sex partners of gay employees.

The bill would make the same-sex partners of federal employees eligible for federal health benefits, long-term care, Family and Medical Leave and federal retirement benefits. Gay federal employees and their partners would be subject to the same standards that apply to married federal workers, including anti-nepotism rules and financial disclosure requirements, according to Lieberman and Collins's offices.

Following orders issued by President Obama in 2009, domestic partners of federal employees are already eligible under the federal government's long term care program, as long as they are in a long-term committed relationship. Same-sex partners of State Department employees also are eligible for relocation-related benefits and some employee assistance programs.
 
Partners also could be eligible for retirement survivor benefits under a form of annuity called the "insurable interest" annuity, again as long as they meet certain qualifications. They also qualify as family members for certain sick leave use related to conditions of family members.

But Lieberman and Collins hope to move the federal government beyond changes enacted so far without the weight of law.

"We want to attract the best men and women possible to serve in federal government," Lieberman said in a statement. "One way to do that is by offering competitive benefits to the family members of gay federal employees."

Collins agreed, saying, "The federal government must compete with the private sector when it comes to attracting the most qualified, skilled, and dedicated employees. Today, health, medical, and other benefits are a major component of any competitive employment package."
 
Lieberman and Collins introduced similar bills during the two previous congresses and their committee, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, held two hearings on the bill in 2009 before approving it.

Of course the federal government is barred from recognizing same-sex marriages under the Defense of Marriage Act, a law that has so far barred the Pentagon from extending full domestic benefits to the same-sex partners of gay and lesbian service members. Neither Lieberman or Collins's offices could immediately say Friday how the bill would address the law's restrictions.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
