I have always heard about the health concerns of family member for as far back as I can remember. Mostly the talk has been talk about diabetes among family members.  I remember Grandma and Granddad talking about how to make eating ice cream as a form of entertainment.  My Grandma makes yogurt and calls it an ice cream treat.  I guess I will have to accept that diabetes runs in my family, and start watching out for myself a little better.  I guess I will have to give up on McDonald’s and try to stop buying ice cream on the way home from school.  My Grandmother always says she has something that would taste much better at her house – homemade ice cream (which is really yogurt!)  Mom has even come around in her way of thinking about what we eat.  She watches very closely what we eat these days, not only for us but for her own health.  She says she wants to be around and live a long life as healthily as possible.  She says she is now aware of the dangers of not eating right.  We have practically cut out the habit of eating out, or grabbing some fast food on the way home.
