Wherever you go there’s a fast food restaurant lurking around the corner, waiting to fry up pounds of delicious fatty foods for you to stuff in your gob, and yet these ever present restaurant chains are surrounded by secrecy and mystery.
They all claim to be number one, but who’s telling the truth? Where do Subway sandwich shops get all of their avocados, and what’s the farthest distance a pizza chain has ever gone to delivered a cheesy pie?
These tasty factoid nuggets and more can be found in BuzzFeed’s low calorie video 9 Fast Food Facts You Won’t Believe Are Actually True, winner of the 2014 award for Most Exaggerated Factoid Video Title.

Diabetes is not a joke and not a term to be thrown around lightly. It is a disease that can, in fact, kill you. It causes blindness. It causes kidney failure. It is a leading cause of non-traumatic amputations. It takes years off a person's life, and tossing around "diabetes-inducing goodness" is not funny. People don't just wake up one day and say, "I think I'm going to give myself the diabeetus." As someone who has lived with diabetes for more than 40 years and who is probably going to lose my kidneys to it one of these days, I do not appreciate this form of "humour", regardless of the context.
I'm sorry you took my humor the wrong way, and missed the fact that I was clearly making fun of the fast food companies and not people with diabetes, and I hope you'll see that this is a simple case of reading too much into a silly blog article.
"Delicious diabetes" is taken totally out of context, it should read "delicious diabetes inducing goodness", which really has nothing to do with the disease, or those with the disease, and has everything to do with the fact that fast food is delicious and yet causes type 2 diabetes and is terrible for our bodies.
Again, I'm sorry you took my humor the wrong way, and I hope this clears up what I meant.
