Oh Paula

Well once again society is rewarding bad behavior.. The Queen of butter has announced she has Type 2 Diabetes. And she has allegedly signed a deal with a diabetes drug company.

Chef Anthony Bourdain has openly criticized her, and is catching all sorts of h e double hockey sticks for it. Paula said he should “get a life”

Oh and she has had this for the last 3 years, and she has been working with the drug company all "hush hush" like, so she could come out as a Diabetic, who pushes their meds. Is it called having an ulterior motive?

I thought Diabetes was about carbohydrates, not fat or even calories..... I could eat 5 sticks of deep fried butter and it would barely affect my blood sugar. I am not saying her recipes can't be re worked to lower the fat/calorie content.

Yep, you can practically cut the tension between Paula and Anthony with a butter knife.

MSN:
I don't think it's proper to make money off of an ailment, disease, or condition.
But, if it does MORE people good (meaning whatver treatment DOES in fact WORK and work WELL) AND you're a spokesperson, that might fly.
Otherwise, it smacks of cronie-capitalism.

Interesting situation.
And it is more entertaining than informative, right?

Stay safe (and warm) down there.

I refuse to bust her on it- any woman who says "a balanced diet is a cookie in each hand" is all right in my book.
