   Hello Dick,   
   It is amazing how different we each are in our eating habits.    Since I am   
   diabetic I eat two med size fruits each day.   All my mothers side of the   
   family were all diabetic.   Her mother along with all her siblings.   I am   
   allergic to metforman so have    
   to control my diabeties with diet.    Doctor did not want me on insulin shots   
   because I am not that bad.   
   I eat Morningstar sauage which is a soy product and eggies which is egg whites   
   with out the yoke.  Once a week I eat a couple fried eggs blotting them on a   
   paper towel to get most of the fat out.   I eat ground turkey because it has   
   less fat than chicken.   
     Maybe once or twice a year I eat a couple slices of bacon on a fast food   
   sandwich.   I like to go to buffet type places to eat as you can pick out what   
   your want to eat.  In the summer time I like to eat lots of salads/soup and in   
   the winter I eat    
   casseroles made with ground turkey.  You would be supprised how many ways you   
   can fix ground turkey.     
                                                                                   
   Take care,
