Why does no one see the irony in doing a Gingerbread Village display, made from 1,000 pounds of gingerbread and 800 pounds of icing, as a fundraiser for diabetes research?

Ha! That kills me!
Though if "they" were really on top of it, they'd use sugar free recipes for the gingerbread and icing, and sugar-free candy for the decorations.
By the way, I know of a middle-schooler who declined to participate on a diabetes fund-raiser because they wanted the kids to sell donnuts to her classmates. She said that she didn't want to increase their chances for diabetes!
haha! I am in obesity research and I recently went to a symposium attended by all the people involved in the care of morbidly obese people in my city. You have never seen so much deep-fried food served in your life!
A molecular biologist/geneticist by training, I've got four years of postdoc and three years of motherhood under my belt. My career is a lot like motherhood... I'm figuring it out as I go along...

I agree!

Mm. Irony.
Hmmm, reminds me of the Krispy Kreme doughnut fundraiser that a group at my former grad (medical) institute held for diabetes research....
Can I confess something here? When I am really, really, really stressed my favorite relief is a can of buttercream frosting. I am a horrible person.
Bwahahahahaha! Loves it.
