As you have all seen (and heard!), Paula Deen has been all over the news with her recent Diabetes diagnosis. Stab after stab at her morals and cooking habits, I continue to grow frustrated. I agree that Paula Deens recent Southern Cooking Bible has some pretty unhealthy recipes throughout the pages. What I don't agree with, is all of the negativity being thrown at her while a lot of the fault lies with us all. I wanted to share a link to a blog that I found online this morning, that reinforces my thoughts.
In Defense of Southern-Fried Paula Deen
I thought it was funny that Julia Child was even brought up in this blog, seeing as to how I am doing somewhat of a spin-off of the Julie and Julia. Julia Child's recipes are just as bad (if not worse!) than some throughout Paula Deen's. I am not hating on Julia either, but just wanted to point out the fact that all of the different chef's that are out there, are cooking up some recipes with possible reprecussions, just as Paula.
I agree with the AP article; the responsibility of eating health and exercising OVERALL, is all in our own hands. Take control, realize that you have to step up to take control of your own health. And IF you want to point fingers, don't forget about the ridiculous fast food that you COULD be eating...
PS. That number I spoke about a few posts back, 143? It's now 141!
