I was watching the ABC Evening News tonight and they showed a story about Paula Deen's diabetes. Paula's a star at The Food Network and she's the consummate southern cook. I love watching Paula and her recipes feature heavy portions of things which aren't exactly healthy. Lots of butter, cream, fried food, etc. Anyway, the story on the ABC News seems critical of Paula since she apparently was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes three years ago but never revealed that to her audience. Do you think she deserves criticism for not revealing this about herself? Does she really have a duty to change her show or recipes because she's diabetic?
In my opinion it's not Paula's responsibility to tell us how to eat. Her show has never been promoted as being about low calorie cooking. I think most of her viewers realize her recipes wouldn't generally be considered healthy! Thank goodness we have a kind and benevolent news media to look out for us and reveal the dark and evil side of southern cooking!
