Really People????

Paula Deen announced on the Today Show that she had type 2 diabetes earlier this week and people are in an uproar.





So we all aren't aware the fatty food is bad for you, or that not excercising is bad for you, or that being over weight is bad for you???? Really? Because those facts aren't plastered EVERYWHERE. Like on the news, in stores, on the radio, the internet, in schools, even the work place when your insurance companies give you discounts for gyms and healthly living initiatives? Everywhere we look we are told that we are not a healthy society but we choose to live that way and ignor what is constantly being thrown in our face. Hey, I am not saying I am any different. BUT I am also not going to chastis Paula Deen for making a living pushing fatty foods....because that is what she does and without apology. She has never claimed that her foods are lowfat or that they are good for you. Nor has she ever said "Hey folks, eat my food for every meal of your life and you will be thin and healthy". All in moderation as most things should be.



I guess what irritates me so much about this is that I can see the law suits flying already. Similar to the "McDonalds made me obese claims". Really, you think? People need to take responsibility for thier own decisions, good or bad and not blame them on corporate america. Don't get me wrong, I see PLENTY wrong with corporate america but always look at your self before you go blamming other people for your problems.



Ok, off my soap box now.

I like your post. Paula is what she is and always has been. People who blame others need a good helping of common sense.
