How about DLC promotions from companies that sell healthier items?

I would've liked to get the DLC items that came with the Dr.Pepper promotion but I am a type 1 diabetic(meaning I was born with it) so I really cannot drink anything with as much sugar as Dr.Pepper.  I can't drink diet Dr.Pepper too because Aspartame has an adverse effect on my blood sugar despite not being an actual sugar.
Would it be possible for EA to possibly consider a DLC promotion for a product that isn't so high in sugar? 

I understand that this is a business and therefore it is not viable to choose some obscure product.  How about working with a food company like Subway that sells a lot of diabetic friendly products?

Well Dr. Pepper items are available for free lol.

I think it's just deserts for not considering the diabetics.



But IMO they're just doing whatever will net them the most money. While understandable, it's disappointing.

It's not about what's healthy but about business deals that generate profit.

This is of course correct.  Not getting around this.  A business cannot remain lucrative if it focuses on the desires of the minority and diabetics are a minority.

I can sympathize with the OP though.  Diabetics do get kinda shafted with promos that sell sugary junk.

Quit your ****ing. I'm type 1 too and Aspartame doesn't do anything. If your on a pump it doesn't matter anyway, just bolus.

Yeah, and I'm a dextro-protein type.  Anything you guys eat will kill me.

Who says you have to drink the Dr. Pepper?



Not only that, but the Dr. Pepper codes are bugged and you can get all the items online for free.

Due to some odd US law, yes, the items are technically free (hence the "no purchase necessary" part).

They probably spit in the food containers in the back.

No, because I consantly see themselves make food from the same stuff for their lunches.
