I wonder if, in the future, prejudices will be diagnosable psychological disorders that can receive therapeutic treatment.

How so?

If you're referring to the type-2-diabetes=fat people remark, that's totally justified, considering that's the primary cause of the disorder.

Type 1 is not, despite the widespread misconception that it has to do with your weight like type 2.

Poor you.

Actually genetics is the primary cause. There is a correlation between type 2 and weight gain (and depression, among other things) but that relationship isn't fully understood and isn't necessarily causal in the way that you're suggesting.

You think I don't know that there's more explanations than the one I was giving you?

Hell, I'M the anomaly in that I got type 1 diabetes when I was 18 and there is a 0.000001% chance of that happening at that age!

When someone posts in a thread titled, "The Bitch Box," I think it's safe to assume you're not going to be told accurate information there.

In other words, I was just bitching, and yes, I do know that there are more variables than even the ones you listed. People in Indonesia and Asia that barely eat at all still get type 2 diabetes. You'd think that after centuries of dealing with diabetes we'd at least be closer to at least identifying the causes of type 2 diabetes, but there's still a ton of unknowns.

I'm suspicious of the cool new pope. I'm pretty sure he's trying to appeal to youth purely because of an aging population of Catholics.

You need to relax.
