PFrancis... how do you know shes on welfare? how do you know when shes not pregnant, she can't play with her kids? how do you know she doesn't eat properly? Some obese people eat healthy and still are large. You sound more ignorant than she does.

@Menekalo a vegan diet will help someone who is obese, a diabetic, and who does not produce insulin. My aunt had this same condition, she went on the vegan diet and lost a tremendous amount of weight, not to mention, her life long battle with diabetes ended. Maybe you should start reading. If the FDA does not want us to know about certain things, they hide it in books because they know about 75% of Americans do not like to read, which you are probably one of them.

@shay1992ify A sugar-free diet would definitely help someone who still actually produces insulin, like my mom-in-law, but as this vid said, this lady does not have any insulin at all, so a vegan diet would not benefit her as much. As soon as they can make someone not insulin-dependant we'd have a cure (which afaik theyre getting there). But evidenced by your conspiracy theory-like statement, I doubt you can even process that.

@Menekalo obviously, sweetie, you have done no research of what being a vegan can do for a person. I know that her being a vegan would not make her illness magically disappear and THERE IS A CURE FOR DIABETES, the food and drug administration wants us to know nothing of it, so that their pockets can continue to be full. And I know what I'm talking about thank YOU very much. therefore, please do not talk of subjects you know nothing about.

@shay1992ify She's diabetic -.- Her body does not produce insulin anymore so she has to inject it with a needle instead. A diet would not magically cure her of a condition there is NO KNOWN CURE FOR ATM. Please do not talk about subjects you know nothing about.

@Menekalo all u haveto do is go to a 100% vegan diet, and she'll lose all that weight in no time. Vegan kills any sickness or disease.

[Menekalo]

@shay1992ify She´d still be a diabetic...so she still needs a needle. It doesn´t magically disappear when you get thin.

eww.. who would wan to knock her up!?

all i see is a bunch of negative comments first of all you dont get diabetes from eating to much suger it either genectic and you lead a unhealthy lifestyle to trigger it or you born with it. second of all no evey obese/overweight person is unhealthy. not all slim people are healthy either or have healthy pregnanys or life styles, and some people may be disabled and cant exercise the weight off. i hate sterotypical slim people dont judge what you see and educate yourself before you start talking
