Am I overreacting or is this attempted murder? A diabetic obese woman in her 90th year brought three sacks of sugar treats per year. She gains half a stone each time and gets uti's. Its made her incontinent. No flowers just this stuff hidden around the house. Three one or two hour visits per year only. Previously this same one got their two other disabled siblings excluded from uncles will and groomed the 3 million for themselves. Is this sack of sugar attempted murder Of an elderly diabetic? Am I unreasonable for thinking it is exactly that?

There's a group called the Red Hatters
I knew I should have kept that hat!

It does sound as if it may be purposefully/subconsciously harmful, but then many people are still amazingly ignorant about food, harming themselves as much as others with dreadful nutritional choices. That may be hard for you to believe, if you're very aware of food quality.

i will not attend any gathering that requires me to wear a red hat, or purple clothes. I loathe the poem behind this affectation. I find it patronising and demeaning.

I'm never buying another red hat ?
But I'd like like to run my stick along the railings.

My aunt loved that poem, we made sure she always had a purple jumper. I was touched to be asked to read the poem at my aunt’s memorial service, she was 104.

I'd wear a red hat and a purple dress if joining such a group is going to be FUN ? .

I went to the WI once .The guest speaker did chou chin chow impressions and with his hands made his eyes slant in front of thee squirming with embarrassment Asian ladies .

I made a complaint and was not invited again .

Back to the subject :
At age 90 , in failing health does it really matter what you eat and drink ?

My father HATES healthy foods and I'm grateful if I can get through one day without his exploding into the most appalling tempers ,tantrums and then having to endure the ensuing moods .

Like the hotelier in Evil Under The Sun, who told her staff that if Hercule Poirot wants boot polish on sausages - so be it .
