All this hooplah over Paula Deen is so ridiculous. I am so sick of
listening to the "experts" all of sudden jump on the band wagon to tar
and feather Paula for cooking the way she does. Up until it was
revealed that she was diabetic, everyone loved her cooking. Of course
anyone with at least 5 brain cells had to realize if you ate the kind of
food Paula is famous for, you'd be hard pressed to live a "long"
life....at least most of us couldn't handle that much fat, sugar and
salt for too many years.
I
guess when I'd see her cooking one of her specialties, I
figured...okay, looks good, sounds good, but not for me. I don't need
some expert telling me not to eat it.......and I guess that's what has
me so mad right now......there's that element out there that assume the
rest of us are too ignorant to have any common sense, so they're going
to make sure we're "okay".
I hate to break it to them, but America didn't become the greatest nation in the world because it was occupied by a bunch of idiots.........granted there is a certain segment of society that likes being told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it......but I'd bet my last dollar the majority don't want it or need it.
Leave Paula alone.....and as my children used to tell each other......"you're not the boss of me!"
And me! Agree with it all. If us "grown-ups" don't want to eat her unhealthy foods, then we can simply choose not to or we can become new followers of her son's "healthy" version of her recipes. :^)
