People who have what is known as Type 2 diabetes produce insulin, but it is inadequate.  This type of diabetes is directly linked to obesity: People who are obese are up to seven times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those of normal weight. Studies also show a link between Type 2 diabetes and a diet of refined carbohydrates, which causes insulin spikes in the bloodstream.

Cont.  Income, diet, obesity, and Type 2 diabetes are all related, and the film suggests that our country’s farm system plays a significant part in their life's.  Some say that food choices are a personal responsibility; individuals should be responsible for making healthier food choices.  Argument: healthy food choices should be available to everyone and not just those with sufficient income; people shouldn’t have to choose between having healthy food and medicine
