That having been said, what the hell is wrong with chef Paula Deen?
Even a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes hasn’t touched America’s “sweetest chef” from sticking to her regiment of deep-fried, buttery and sugary dishes designed to make peoople all over the world look like they’re extras in WALL-E!
She’s still preaching “everything in moderation,” presumably even her famous Lady’s Brunch Burger, a bacon-and-fried egg hamburger with two glazed doughnuts as buns!

The 65-year-old TV star from Savannah, Ga. – where they love to eat - hid her diabetes for three years while shoving fatty, salty, Southern comfort food down America’s collective throat.
She has become a force of Nature – but an unnatural one, if that makes any sense.
- Eight million people have bought her 14 cookbooks.
- Millions watch her cooking show.
People can make a conscious decision to avoid her creations, right? But people are lemmings willing to buy into the dog and pony show this Southern belle rolls out everyday on TV.
Personally, I love to eat. Who doesn’t, right?
BUT I KNOW MY LIMITS! AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE DIABETES!

There are a million things wrong with this picture, but I don’t even know where to begin…
My question is: How can she control her diabetes when she eats all that stuff? Wouldn’t that put you into a sugar coma for sure?
Maybe she just nibbles at the end of her programs but doesn’t indulge fully, who knows?
Frankly … I’m baffled over this … my guy has severe diabetes and the message she is sending is unhealthy and dangerous.
It certainly is.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of her before – then again, I don’t ever watch cooking shows though, so there lol. What she’s doing is disgusting, I can’t believe her cooking show is televised when we have an epidemic in our hands! But at the end of the day, adults need to control their own lives and if they choose to eat themselves to an early grave, so be it! I love to it too, but I don’t live to eat!
Well said!
I am appalled that she didn’t fess up until she had a deal set up for herself. I wonder if anyone will sue her for giving them Diabetes!
You never know…
Eeek!!!
I just found out that China’s KFC (maybe the rest of the world too? I don’t know!!) has this new creation out… a deep fried chicken breast, slab of bacon, a fried egg all on a fried bun. Yup. Modern Western influence. Clogging the worlds arteries one at a time…
But the good news is??? It’s the only joint in the city that has bacon.
That is good, isn’t it?
Facts be known, Western Influence or not, China is the # 2 Diabetic capitol of the world…just behind India… I personally HONESTLY
Whoops…I was censored..? Hehe, anyway, I really think a lot of the Diabetes problems, among certain other modern disease outbreaks and returns, are due in some way to the steroids, and animal/chemical genes our food sources are being subjected to by Government sanctioned companies such as “Monsanto”..But, hey, that’s just me…Supersizin doesn’t help. But, as far as fried fatty southern foods( or rich French cuisine) our ancestors have been eating them for centuries, and suddenly? Every things turning up Diabetic? Given the #1 Diabetic count is located in India, and #2 in China…I can’t put much real blame on Paula Deen, I mean, other than her insistent..”Drawl on the word Ya’ll” and I’m from the south…Heh, and the fried egg, double glazed, Krispe-Kreme burger, maybe. Sorry to rant Hook, I had seen this link on your site, but never realized till now it was a second site of yours…Bless You
Keep Up the great work.

You too, Paul! Thanks for the input; it’s always appreciated!
I just got this one.. very nice, Paul!
How can I say “The pot calling the kettle black?” And, seriously, that nasty concoction you mentioned? Who in their right minds eats that garbage? I can understand the donuts and the burger, but NOT AT THE SAME TIME!!!! What are these people smoking?
I wish I knew…
I think they are smoking “TV” ratings…lol
I think you’re right!
Lol funny post.eva was like finally lol.
Glad to hear it!
Yes!!!!
Glad to hear you approve!
It is pretty ridiculous. I’m a big fan of sweets and fried things on occasion, and I wouldn’t turn down a Thanksgiving invite to Paula’s house, but the idea of recommending her food to people for consumption on a daily basis just blows my mind…
Me too, my friend…
Great post lol!
YIKES!
I didn’t even know she had diabetes. Great Job Paula Deen ://
lmao that burger looks minging :S
People are just starting to clue in on her health situation – and they’re not pleaesed! Her life is her own but she’s in the public eye and she’s advocating a lifestyle that will kill you, sooner or later!
Eek indeed, we all love our ‘junk’ food but that burger is seriously wrong. For Woman, KFC in Aus hasn’t got that burger, yet, and I hope it never does.
Great pot, oops, post Hook.
I hope so too!
you tell ‘em Hook
Thanks for the support, Jo!
