Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us

To eat or not to eat - that is the question. As with any decision. - make a choice and live with the consequences. Miss Paula doesn't insist you make or eat anything she makes - she merely lends you her expertise, innovativeness, etc. None of us is consistently perfect with our food choices.
Some of the recipes on many of the shows are strange, but so what? Paula has a great kind of showmanship. My boyfriend and I watch her Paula's Party almost every Fri just because it's such fun. Enjoy your food the way you like it and don't criticize others, there is too much of that in the world. Love and best dishes (with apologies to Paula).

Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us

So what? No one is forcing you to make it and eat it. Its not harmful to eat things like this once in awhile, and in moderation. If you don't like her, don't watch her. RELAX. Besides butter is PURE FAT already anyway. Aren't there more important things in the world to b**ch about?

Dean: "I'm gettin' fatter by the day. I just hate my arterae. I'll plug 'em up and make 'em die, 'cause everything I eat is fried."

Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us

As a Southern belle, born and bred, and having lived in Georgia for 45 years, I have to say that everyone in my family agrees that Paula puts on a lot of that drawl. In all my years I have never heard ANYONE talk like she does, unless they are parodying ignorant Southerners. But hey, it seems to be getting her what she wants - lots of attention.

As for her recipes, they too are mostly for show. Southerners know about serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and diabetes. Yes, we have regional favorites, but they wouldn't make Yankees gawk and watch a show. Folks, "that's entertainment," I suppose.

For a true slice of Southern cuisine, please pick up a copy of Southern Living magazine or one of their cookbooks. For a funnier parody of Southern rednecks, watch reruns of "HeeHaw."

Do some of you people just watch these shows because you've run out of everyday things in your lives to "crab" about. I agree with "turn the channel" I'm a Paula fan, no I don't fix everything she creates. She is pure entertainment though. And.... which one of you are such a perfect specimen of human figure that you feel the need to even comment on the physical features of another human being? Your jealous the women is successful while seeming to enjoy life. Get over it. Cook her recipes or don't. Watch her show, or don't. Get your own life, you might be happier.

Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us

As a "healthy cook" I watch what we eat and prepare things in the healthiest possible way, but this weekend at the farmer's market I was attacked by a memory of my Mother and Grandmother and those amazing vegetable suppers they made in the summer. The idea that vegetables should be steamed and crisp was anathema to those ladies and I got a craving for green beans and new potatoes ( used Paula Deen's recipe cause I didn't write down my Mother's) with salt pork and bacon grease (yes I had to go locate those things in the grocery store!), sliced tomatoes, squash casserole ( with butter and cracker crumbs and cheese...lots of cheese), maninated cucumbers and onions, icy cold watermelon and cantaloupe. Today I have huge guilt that I did it and am headed to the gym to do penance, but OMG it was good!

Next weeks show will feature Paula wearing a sensitive microphone over her heart so that we can all hear her aorta clogging up while she cooks.

lovetenfoe - ITA with you. I love Paula. I met her in person when she was here in Tampa last year. What a sweet lady. I read her book and realized, she's one of us! I've tried several of her recipes that I like and subscribe to her wonderful magazine - I can say, They Are Great! For the Naysayers out there - If you don't like her, then CHANGE THE CHANNEL!! Jeez - like the saying goes - "Life's Too Short For The Dumb Junk", you know?

I have a problem with those that are saying all these NEGATIVE things about what Paula Deen is cooking, how she's cooking it!!! If you don't eat real southern cooking then don't watch the show!! Paula's not forcing you to eat her food!! Alot of things that Rachel Ray cook I would NEVER eat! But I don't go around putting her down, because everyone has to make a living so hey, thats there way! Paula loves cooking and I enjoy all of her shows and I cook her recipes all the time. My family loves Paula!! I pray one day I will get to meet her in person! We love you in WEST Palm beach Paula!! FYI- Raw meat can kill you too! Think first before speaking.
#1 PAULA DEEN FAN!!!!!!

I absolutely love Paula Deen. Find someone else to leave your rude and ignorant remarks about because Paula is the last peson to deserve such critisicm. She has enough spunk to beat out all of you people who have nothing better to do than to point fingers. I have never witnessed a more loving woman than Paula Deen, so leave your unappreciative comments to yourself.

"Paula Deen is Trying to Kill Us" - You would think that someone was actually trying to kill you by holding you at gunpoint to go to the grocery store buy the ingredients. Come home mix them up. Freeze them. Get them out and drop them into a fryer. I'm guessing most people making comments are overweight themselves and have no self control. So you're killing yourself. It's really sad to think that you can't enjoy a recipe for what it is. I live in Texas where it's a hobby to see what you can fry from Snickers to Oreos. Get over yourselves and let the woman entertain! YOU GO PAULA!
