"Barbados fights Big Sugar for the survival of its people -The legacy of colonialism, modern-day conveniences and a diet high in fat and sugar have bequeathed the island a diabetes and high-blood pressure pandemic. But can health plans win out over corporate interests?

"Barbados, like other small island developing states, is fighting for its people’s survival. On this beautiful island, people wander daily into danger, swinging two-litre flasks of sugary drinks such as Coca-Cola as they step out of their cars, buying local fast food from the back of a van for lunch and queueing at Kentucky Fried Chicken or the local chain Chefette in the evening. The blessings of the modern convenience world have been visited upon small islands, with the result that more than half their people are dying prematurely from heart and lung conditions, cancer, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases.
...
Blame is being laid at the door of the food industry. The world’s 57 small island developing states, or SIDS, as the UN collectively calls them, have particular vulnerabilities. They cannot grow enough fresh food for their populations and, as the climate crisis worsens, water is scarcer and storms wipe out entire fields of crops every year. So they are reliant on importing their food: for some islands as much as 90% of it. And much of what they import is ultra-processed food, high in calories with very little nutritional value."

The doctor that prescribed high blood pressure medication for me said that the most-reported side effect was a dry cough. I went online later and looked at the specifications for the drug that reported more than just coughing as something to expect in the early days of use. So far I’ve experienced pretty much every symptom _other_ than the coughing. The cure is feeling worse than the problem right now. #symptoms #ill #highbloodpressure

Hey all... today for my weekly POV column, I'm talking about the craziness of the world today, my writing, the Serenity Prayer, Haiku, and generally learning to let go.

The Serenity Prayer is usually associated with Alcoholics Anonymous. It’s a reminder to those in the program that not everything is in their control, and trying to control things that are beyond us often ends in heartache...

I accidentally hit a religious radio channel while driving today. Some preacher was telling folks that if they truely spent enough time with/contemplating god, that they would not have high blood pressure. Insanity. #highbloodpressure
