Shame on Paula Deen
Jenice Armstrong, Daily News Columnist
Whenever I used to think of TV chef Paula Deen, the word excessive would come to my mind. That’s been replaced now with another term - hypocrite. Deen knew darn well about her Type 2 diabetes, a disease complicated by the excessively rich food she’s known for, but didn’t say a word about it until after she had a deal with a drug company to hawk its anti-diabetes product. That’s low. Nobody should be telling anyone to deep fry cheesecake or lasagna. I don’t care what that stuff tastes like. You’re supposed to eat to nourish your body, not so you have a food orgasm. A friend says I'm being too harsh. But I think Deen deserves every bit of backlash she’s getting, do you?
From another site - grasswire at the democraticunderground.com site...
Yes, Shame on her because:
1) she promoted unhealthy food while hiding her disease for three years
2) she has contracted with Big Pharma to hawk a diabetes drug that carries the strongest FDA warning about cancer risk and will make big bucks from it
3) she is anti-worker; a spokesperson for Smithfield (a company that treats its workers like s**t and sells unhealthy food).
That's three reasons, none of which have anything to do with her personality (southern) or body shape (obese).
It's the hypocrisy and the crass commercialism.— JeffJenk- JeffJenk said it well! Thank you for your comment!— Jenice Armstrong
