Paula is not responsible...

So Paula Deen announced this morning she has diabetes. They have pretty much crucified her since the rumors started.

Yes, she cooks things that are not very healthy, but she is not responsible for what others eat.

Look you KNOW that 2 sticks of butter and 2 cups of sugar in a recipe isn't good for you. You also have no idea what she eats or doesn't eat.

Her show is about entertainment. It is about TREATS! Not every day meals.

They say how can you cook this? How can you push it when you have diabetes? Isn't that hypocritical?

Well let me tell you about me. I can't eat a lot of sugar but I STILL love to bake! I love to cook, and nope not all of it is healthy. I REALLY love fried okra and fried squash. I REALLY love cornbread dripping with butter...

BUT I don't eat it every day. I eat one or two cookies and I freeze them or give them away.

Since I give those cookies away does that make me bad??? Am I therefore responsible for their health?

It never ceases to amaze me how people will find ANYONE other than themselves to blame for their problems...

Cook what you like Paula and eat what you should... and you out there do the same!
