Paula Deen

Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

What it with blaming others and not taking personal responsibility nowadays? You don't need to cram her food down your gullet.

I think her endorsing the diabetes drug was crass.
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

A southerner hiding their diabetes and preparing high-fat meals? Surely you just.
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

We have a president who smokes, but the media carefully manipulates his images to hide this. This is done in the light of trying not to inspire what is perceived as deadly behavior in children while our First Lady is trying to promote healthy lifestyles for those same children. If the media did not aggressively manage his image, I wonder if the posters here would be as quick to condem our President.

If you have been around Bourdain (and I don't know for a fact if he smokes still or not), you would identify a bitter, angry old man, steeped in resentment. He hasn't been able to make the money that his colleagues have. He's looking for attention here.

On the flip side, if you don't like Paula Deen, watch/buy anything else. It just reminds me of how the right always takes shots at Michelle Obama every time she orders ribs.

Stop with the "What about so and so, or about so and so"....You can Spin this a Million ways but Paula deserved to be called out by the Media....Paula set herself up when she could have tackled everything 3yrs ago...It was the big diabetes endorsement deal that made Paula come clean...

This publicity will make her one of the most talked about Celebrity Chefs in Culinary history...The Food Network is loving every minute of it and had a show waiting in the wings...

I bet her blood taste like Mountain Dew. Anyway, I love Paula Deen.

And I think she is hot. Foot or not foot.

Do you think actors who have sex in mainstream movies should have their HIV status announced by the press as well? They are pushing and profiting from sex; does that make their personal health situations public domain?

What? He quit smoking. I guess one is not very up-to-date with what he has been doing.

And he also has led a more active life style. He frequently works out, has managed to lower his cholesterol to good levels and he's looking pretty good for someone who has one of the most stressful jobs in the country.

But hey nice try misrepresenting the President. He's in excellent health according to personal doctors... unlike Paula Deen who pushes unhealthy food and is suffering from diabetes.



Really? His show gets pretty solid ratings and he has been on time and time again. He looks like he's doing well for himself. Also gets to travel all over the world and gets to try food in other countries. Honestly, I don't see what he has to be resentful about.

And does Paula Deen really surprise anyone? This is Food Network we are talking about. Their highest rated show isn't Paula Deen's... it's Guy Ferry and his Diners, Drive in and Dive's show (and I'm using his real name... not Guy Fieri). Seeing that man shove run of the mill diner crap into his face makes me want to throw up. Last show I saw him on, he literally chomped down three or four dishes at once. This brings me back to my original point, the bulk of Food Networks shows are pushing unhealthy and dangerous eating habits. I guess they all need to live in the image of the Two Fat Ladies (which was a 90s English Cooking show that was hugely popular in the US).

Paula Deen deserves the criticism she is getting from the media, and her endorsement of a diabetes medication is really showing her true colors. Why not push a healthy lifestyle instead?

The point is that someone's medical situation is their business (I believe). (I like our president.) I like a lot of popular actors. I also don't believe that their HIV status should be announced by the media, even though under your logic they are pushing sex in movies or on TV. I believe it is their right to release their personal health information or not.

If anyone eats a donut because Paula Deen sells them, that's really their issue. It's not related to her private and personal health situation. She's an entertainer, that's all. It's her right to push whatever she wants; you don't have to make the decision to buy it.

There's certainly nothing deceptive about her, and she has no obligation to sell anything else just because you or I don't like the product.
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

Di-uh-bedeez yawl!

 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

Hard-up1, you're missing the point. It isn't that she promotes unhealthy foods. It's that she promotes unhealthy foods AND concealed her diabetes AND is promoting a diabetes drug.

Makes her look like a poison-the-well-and-sell-the-antidote person.

By contrast, people who make bareback porn (for example) are just creating a product for which there is demand. If Treasure Island Media were also making promotions for an anti-retroviral drug, similar criticisms of them would be justified...but they aren't.
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

I used to like Paula when she was starting out on the Food Network. She was like that sweet old lady next door that would give you a cookie and lemonade.

Then I guess the money and fame changed her. The blinding white veneers. The unnaturally blue contacts. Saying "y'all" 12 times in a sentence. Cackling and carrying on like the drunk old lady down the block that was always trying to get teenage boys to bang her.

Paula sold out and became a shameless whore. She'll put her name on anything for a buck. Mattresses? Why not? A $1500 bureau? Just call it a "receipe writing desk"!

Now this. She had diabetes for 3 YEARS and didn't change her lifestyle AT ALL. Then has the nerve to say that she ALWAYS ADVISED MODERATION, even though 9/10 of the stuff she made was loaded with fat & calories. But it's OK, because Paula will handle her diabetes by taking a pill that she's being paid to endorse and costs $700 a month.

I haven't seen this much backpedaling since I watched the Tour De France on rewind.
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

Cause I play in a metal band I am allowed to do drugs and get shit faced drunk every day. I love it. Its expected. Sometimes I puke or piss myself & people say "well dope if you don't like it quit, cause thats what you are supposed to do".

Glad I ain't in her shoes where all the the self-righteous fucks wanna come down on a elementary educated known fact about bad foods leading to health problems.

Let the bitch cook, its some good shit she makes!

The main issue here isn't strictly Paula's food- it's her greed and hypocrisy. Pretty much everything she made had a stick of butter in it. For nearly a decade, Paula made one fat and sugar loaded thing after another, and bragged about eating like that all the time. Now Paula's claiming that she always preached moderation and healthy eating? LOL WUT? To add insult to injury, she's not dealing with her diabetes by changing her diet & lifestyle. Nope, she'll just take a pill that she was paid to endorse. Because we know that pills solve EVERYTHING.
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

I like Paula Deen and I love Southern food. Anthony Bourdain is an asshole and I hope he chokes on a flaming sausage.

They're not obligated to be leaders, but they do present a lifestyle that many people want to emulate.

Most of the shows on The Food Network are designed as a sort of fantasy projection.

Paula's, Ina Garten's, Giada De Laurentiis' (sp) etc. They live in beautiful homes, have wonderful families and friends, (most of Ina's are gay men, for some reason - not that I'm complaining) and in spite of making marvelous three course meals, their kitchens remain spotless - not so much as a spoon out of place.

Who wouldn't want that lifestyle ?

And when someone is showing you step by step how to create one of these delicious meals, there are a heck of a lot of people that want to try them for themselves.

Yes, you'd have to be pretty clueless not to realize what Ms. Deen was cooking was unhealthy, but she has an uncanny way about her that makes it seem alight, "just this once", not unlike being your Grandma's kitchen and having her set down macaroni and cheese and chocolate cake in front of you.

It's called "comfort food" for a reason, and for Paula to be pushing it for THREE YEARS after her diagnosis seems very irresponsible to me.

Never underestimate the power of television.

(One has only to look at Newt's win in South Carolina to confirm that notion.)
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

ALl due respect, if people couldn't figure out that following Paula Dean's lifestyle was bad for you..well,that's your own fault.

Riiiiight.

Paula and her sticks of butter command you.

Puh-lease.
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

Paula Deen's high fat cooking is like bareback porn. Some watch it but don't personally partake. Others emulate.

In both cases, lots of butter is involved.
 
Re: Paula Deen Hid Diabetes, Pushed High-Fat Food. (Anthony Bourdain Pissed)

Scripps is looking on the bright side. Paula can be in one of their Health Network channels showing top notch surgeons removing her toes/feet/legs bit by bit, or show her laser surgeries for diabetes blindness. By then Paua can come out with new cookbooks for those in a wheelchair or blind, while endorsing electric scooters that Medicare will overpay for, or blue hued contact to cover white, smokey, dead eyes.

Maye Anthony Bordein can take her on one of his trips to, say..., Bhutan and have her endulge in a big bowl of the local karma soup.

Think of all the possibilities. She's a gold mine!
