For the record, I'm doing the same thing as your BIL, and feel great.
But I think you're more likely to lose friends than change minds by
trying to get people to change their diet...

Fear not, I will not cram the issue down their throats. We had a discussion
at one meeting concerning diseases like diabetes and heart disease and how
they're related to diet and exercise. I told them I would ask on the "the
net" and report back to them. I come from a small town area where many
people my age lack interest in learning how to use a computer. Using
computers is another thing I am trying to get them interested in. G

How about working on the exercise part of the equation instead? A walk
an hour after eating can make a big difference to blood glucose
levels. So could a bowling game, or a swim, or a trip to the gym...

That will also be covered this weekend. It appears that many older folks are
no more interested in starting an exercise program then they are in changing
their eating habits.
