Comment on The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.

As a diabetic I have to watch what I eat but I still enjoy fried shit on occasion but I can’t do rice at all. I honestly don’t know why there are no food places that offer diabetic friendly meals.
No body offers the low carb tortillas. Or low carb high fiber bread. Grilled veggies like zucchini and onions with sausage. Even snack places. There are some good low sugar deserts that could be made

Man I’m sorry to hear. You’re already diabetic so I mean carbs are out…but I mean I feel like fats and sodium aren’t going to be as much of a worry until you also have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Altho once you do then you’re fucked I guess. I’ve heard of salt substitutes, but I don’t know much about them.
