The Paula Deen controversy

[MonsterD]

Anyone follow this so far? She has had major backlash from the medical community first for not saying anything for three years, but especially for the turning a profit from it by pharmaceutical company.

I think she deserves any hate she gets now.

She doesn't have the right to privacy? If I could make money off of being a diabetic I would. I say who cares. Let her make her money.

The way the medical community and her peers even see it, she was being irresponsible by continuing without that disclosure. Even I am shocked that this many professionals abhor her now.

[Sam I Am]

lol, that is a controversy? Weight Watcher can't very well hire a Anorexic spokes person. Why wouldn't a pharmaceutical company selling a diabetes drug hire a diabetic spokes person? Sounds obvious to me.

As for her not disclosing the type 2 diabetes. That's because it would have destroyed her career. Better her being a spokes person for a diabetic drug than keep selling those books full of death recipes.

Hopefully she will stop doing that now that she has another gig.

Hey they are tasty, people who eat that type of food understand that a steady diet of that kind of food is unhealthy but occationally I like old fashion southern cooking. Yes high in fat but damn good eating. :laugh2:

I think there are celebrities that did not make the death recipes that had diabetes, aside from Wilford Brimley. It is because she promoted the unhealthy lifestyle that it is under scrutiny.

If they had emphysema and were promoting smoking, yeah they should disclose that. Otherwise no if she had emphysema and never smoked she would not need to disclose that being a chef.

death recipe? I'm sorry but people have a choice of what they choose to eat or not. How others feel about this type of food is their own business and they can stay out of mine. She is a cook who features southern cooking if that type of food is not something you don't like then don't eat it.

That may be the way some people in the South eat but we grew up on a lot healthier food. I'm not saying we didn't eat fried pork chops once a week but we also ate a lot of beans and rice, fresh vegetables, chicken, etc...

So Paula may call what she makes Southern food but it doesn't represent what a lot of the cooking in the South is.

[Sam I Am]

The term "death recipe" refers to the path it can lead too. Paula now has diabetes. 4 million people a year die from diabetes related causes and is the 7th leading cause of death in the US.

Her books are books of death recipes like it or not. They can lead to diabetes and diabetes kills a lot of people.

You want to eat it eat it. You want to smoke, smoke. A cigarette is still a cancer stick even if you don't like to call it that because you're a smoker.

My wife doesn't like to talk about "serious issues" that could happen do to someone's actions. It scares her, but I on the other hand do not beat around the bush about it. You can't mask death when it comes and there is no point is ignoring it or how it can come.

That is the way many do eat in the south I'm not saying all and what she is cooking is considered southern cooking. I'm not saying people should eat this all the time but it is people own choice.

Myself I enjoy many of the things she prepairs and have eaten it my whole live not in abundance but I still like to have it now and then.

I don't tell vegans what kind of veggies to eat I don't need them telling me what I will eat that is my choice and no one else has a say in it but me.

It is not about the people who decide to eat it, it is her and this situation she put herself into.

By being a diabetic? I'm sorry it sounds like the snob group passing judgment on others. I get tired of it.

So what is the cry? Honesty in advertising or promotion? We have a better chance of passing gold bricks than that happening; all advertising contains a good measure of dishonesty and we're in no position anymore to complain about someone making a mint from being anything but completely honest. We've given it our blessings for years by remaining customers no matter who's selling what.

Of course they do, which is why they should be informed if their favorite chef has a chronic condition as a result of an unhealthy lifestyle that includes eating said recipes.

She withheld pertinent information and profited off of it.

These things don't exist in a vacuum. Everybody knows about cholesterol and the effects particular foods have on it. Just because someone is forging ahead with it's use is no excuse for anyone to ignore the information we're all aware of.

Oh I agree about moderation. I am a Texan and love lots of southern cooking. Chicken Fried Steak is one of my all time favorites. (of course, you really can't get that here in NY and that is good for me) Even in moderation though, it's still not good for you. You just won't get diabetes from eating a single bad thing a week. The problem is, most people don't just eat a single bad thing a week. Especially the people who actually buy Paula's cookbook.

Agreed. My mother is from Mississippi & is a great Southern cook... but she never made Krispy-Kreme burgers or deep fried lasagna or any of the other extreme things that Paula comes up with.

Type 2 diabetes primarily comes from carrying excess body fat (obesity), which her food is guilty of causing. So does other foods, of course, but her recipes are generally over the top.

I read that she hid her diabetes for over 3 years. The only reason it came out was that the drug/treatment company she now is a spokesman for approached her about altering some of her recipes to be 'diabetic friendly'. She responded, "how did you know I was diabetic?" And that is how the story got out. She didn't volunteer it, it just slipped out. Now, some in the media are demonizing her for hiding it while others are saying she is courageous for talking about it. Truth is, she is neither courageous nor is she a demon.

While I think it would have been responsible and admirable of her to have been forthcoming about her diagnosis & used her celebrity status to help others prevent themselves from falling into the same trap... I don't think its fair to be disappointed or shocked that she did not do this. Not everyone fits in the Superman outfit... (especially Paula ;) )

Her health is her business not yours or anyone else. Now that people know she is diabetic do you think those people will not eat this food? Give me a break

People there is enough information out there about the kinds of food that are considered healthy. people who eat her style of cooking know that is contains a lot of fat it is not a secret and eating this type of food on a regular basis can be bad for you.

Frankly I get tired of his high priced sissy running about popping off about being a Vegan and act like everyone should be like them.

It has nothing to do with Vegan, there are plenty of healthy diets with meat or animal products.

Ban? No. I fully believe in freedoms we have. I would just hope she would change her ways. I look at her like I look at tobacco companies. She is selling people a path of destruction. They are free to buy it and she is free to sell it. It doesn't mean I have to like what she is doing.

True but again some people enjoy other types of foods. I'm tired of people telling me what I should eat it is not your business if people do not like Dean meals then don't eat them it is that simple. I'm sure she does upset some people but then they get upset over alot of things I don't care

[MonsterD]

I have nothing against them, but there are good ways of eating meat too, healthy meat is available with no processing or excess sodium, etc.

Why should she change her ways? You are right you don't have to like it. But I find it funny that you can have your chicken fried steak but we should not eat it.

She is not selling a path of destruction no more than the beer compaines it is up to people to use those products in a responsible manner.

In moderation these type of food are not going to kill you and if a person can't handle moderation in what they eat then they likely can't handle moderation in many things but again that is on them

That's true, but it is expensive and it's hard to say that everyone can afford healthier foods. Which strikes me as odd that I have to pay extra for what is natural over what is unnatural and costs to add, like preservatives and anti-biotics in the livestock.

Smoking you shouldn't, drinking it is said that having a glass of wine is good for you but having a bottle of wine can be bad. You commit a crime you can go to jail.

[Faerluna]

While some have mentioned the "everything in moderation" point, this is also something that she drilled repeatedly on her shows.

You have to use that bowling ball attached to your neck and realize that eating that way constantly won't be good for you. It's not like eating a healthy diet is never talked about or that information is somehow unavailable.

People need to take personal responsibility for their choices.

Actually, if a non-compliant diabetic ate this type of food everyday, then yes, it would kill you. I changed my entire eating habit in March 2011 when I was diagnosed. I became educated on what diabetes is, how it affects you and how to manage it without having to be on insulin, which I've thankfully avoided.

I think Dean missed a golden opportunity to capture a new audience by changing the show from a fat and lard based menu to one that teaches people how to eat responsibly and why they should do so.

We did some research about 7 months ago for our 3-county area in Texas, and 47% of the population was either overweight or obese. That, and heredity, are leading causes for people to get Type II diabetes.

Don't get me wrong about this. I enjoy eating. I've just learned how to do it responsibly and in a manner that will allow me to stick around a while longer.

I hope you can keep it under control. As for Dean she has an audience that likes what she is prepairing there are a lot of these cooks and cooking shows that deal in so called healthy foods why add yet another?

I have nothing aginst what people choose to eat be it for health reasons such as your or just a life change that some people want. That is cool but there are people who want to learn to cook other things they like having and Dean shows them.

I am diabetic. Sometimes, of a Saturday morning, on the rare occasion that my wife and I have the time, we sit in bed and watch Paula Dean on the cooking channel. I know and understand what I can eat and how certain foods and or styles of cooking effect me. I don't honestly need anybody to tell me that the Paula Dean show is an example of what I can not do in my life. I have a full understanding of that. Any Diabetic should. It is not as if the information is not out there for anybody to learn and understand.

Paula Dean owes nothing to me or any Diabetic. She also owes nothing to anybody else out there. You don't want to watch her show, don't watch. As for me, my wife and I like to watch it so we do and guess what, my Blood Sugar levels don't spike at the sight of Paula Cooking stuff. Just not how it works folks.

[kristie]

my father-in-law was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2010, & what upsets me is that the kinds of foods that paula deen makes on her show can be made in a way that a diabetic can enjoy them as well yet she said that she has no intention of changing that because that's how she cooks.

[jnday]

Paula Dean should be able to keep her health issues private . There is no debating that . I am sick of these people minding other people's business . Being from Mississippi , I am well aware that some of our cooking is unhealthy . I don't care . I eat fried foods daily . I drink Coke like there is no tomorrow . I smoke like a freight train . I salt all my food . IT'S MY BUSINESS .

[notherbob]

If you use crushed raw garlic to season your food as it is cooking, it will put healthful compounds in your food that help fight diabetes and also slicken the blood so that blood clots don't form and so minimizing the possibility of a heart attack or stroke. Adds great flavor, and makes you feel good, too.

Lard is only unhealthy because of the way the hogs it comes from are raised in confinement farms where they never get outside. Diseases are rampant and have to be kept under control with heavy applications of antibiotics and they are given growth hormones to put on weight rapidly. All this and their diet results in their fat being high in omega-6 fatty acids and that leads to the health consequences associated with it.

However if the lard is made from pigs who live their live out in nature eating their natural diet and are not given any growth hormones then crowding diseases do not develop and the fat from those pigs is high in omega-3 fatty acids that are beneficial and prevent the formation of the things that have given pork a bad name. Pastured pork is beneficial instead of harmful, as is the lard made from it.

Same with the butter made from milk from cows raised similarly and fed a straight diet of grains and they never get to eat grass, their natural food. I believe their milk is not healthy nor is the butter made from it while butter from pastured grass-fed dairy cows is beneficial because of the omega-33 and other things.

It is not so much the food that is making people sick but the ways it is raised and finished and processed. You can't get grass-fed or pastured pork or chicken in most stores and you have to Google to see if there are any sources near you.

Going back to the old ways of raising food will cure a lot of ills but not everyone can find it or afford it. The corporate food supply is the only option for most these days and that has dreadful long term consequences for individuals and society as well.

People just have to do the best they can these days.
