Paula Dean has Type 2 Diabetes. The rumors have been flying for awhile
- Thread starter cook21

I'm not "fat," I'm fluffy...well rounded fits well too... And I agree about...
Paula being singled out. It's the irony of the situation...her use/abuse of butter, decadent desserts and her "over the top" screen persona, and now she's got Type 2 Diabetes... I have to admit, though, that I've never heard her mention "moderation" during her shows... *Ü* Still, while I feel she's being given more of a hard time about this than she has coming, there is that little deal with the pharmaceutical company that she's advertising... I kind of think the perks of that will take away all the sting of the public health admission. Money may not BUY happiness, but it will sure cover those massages!

Well, I won't stop making her food because of this...
I also saw her on the Today Show and though I'm not fond at all about the drug promo, even if some of her kickback is going to charity, she is not responsible for what I or anyone else chooses to eat.
Her recipes are good. They are much like what I grew up on, many I was so glad to find because they were the taste of old family recipes lost.
That being said, it's not like I cook like this everyday. (She said she doesn't either.) I stopped cooking/eating like this every day sometime back in the '70's. Also the jury is really out on fat. First it was horrible, then it was ok again, then it was moderation, then real fats are good for you, and the latest in books for folks with inherited high cholesterol like me says no fats or oils of any kind...so why folks think food and health choices are Paula Deen's fault, I have no idea. Oh and I keep at least 2 lbs of butter on hand too.
I've eaten my way to lower cholesterol numbers while eating lots of fat, sugar, now that's something different, but she's not the queen of sugar.
I'm not her biggest fan, though I do like many of her recipes, she's not the devil either and trying to make smart business decisions around her brand isn't something I'll fault her for. Even if I can only take her in small doses.
Now can someone please pass me some of that cheddar pineapple casserole? (But only on Easter.)
