Rev Run Joins National Campaign To Help Fight Against Diabetes

Rev Run has officially teamed up with Novo Nordisk to create the "Ask.Screen.Know." program, which is meant to educate individuals about the dangers of diabetes and also offers regularly scheduled screenings for the disease. He will be hosting events all across the nation to raise awareness about the disease. Rev Run grew up watching his father suffer from its effects, so he knows firsthand what the disease can do to people, so helping to open people's eyes about the illness is very personal for him.

"Watching my dad manage his diabetes, I know firsthand the impact that the disease can have. Your health is worth the time. That's why I joined the 'Ask.Screen.Know.' campaign. I'm looking at my own risk of diabetes and holding myself accountable for my health. I'm asking others to do the same."

I commend him on this. As we're living in a country with greedy food organizations who aren't in the best interest of our health. Every food you see theres something in it. Study shows that since they're limited to the ammounts of fat to put in the food (for taste) they put sugar in the products (sugar turns to fat) to get around the rules. Also another study shows that sugar products especially soda sets off the same sensors in your brain as crack cocaine does (0_0) which is why many people find themselves craving certain foods that containt sugar and have a hard time staying on a healthy diet. These food organizations, literally, have this business of food down to a science. Making an effort to make people aware of diabetes is a great movement but we also need to get the people to be aware of the food products and the food organizations hidden agenda.
