You are what you eat?

When Paula Dean, TV chef with a mini-empire, announced she had Type 2 diabetes, there were more than a few pieces slamming the woman.  We kept silent and that was, in part, due to the fact that we didn't know who she was until a dog pile was taking place.

And while there really doesn't seem to be a need to say ha-ha look what happened to someone who ate and promoted unhealthy food, there also really doesn't seem to be a need for her to continue to promote her sugary and fattening foods.




We're sad that Dean has diabetes as we are when anyone develops an illness.  But maybe she'd get a little more support from others on the Food Network if she wasn't still dispensing unhealthy recipes -- foods and snacks that often provide over half the calories you need in a day and pump enough sugar into your bloodstream to make you space for the rest of the day.
