I wish people would lighten up on Paula. She's more an entertainer than anything else, and a darn good one for people who enjoy and appreciate Southern culture and cooking. As I once heard her comment, followed by that charming cackle of hers, "Honey, I'm your cook, not your doctor."

For those who want a healthful emphasis, there's certainly no shortage of personalities, ideas and resources out there (so let's enjoy Paula for what she is). Personal favorite on the healthy side:

I agree with some, I have to say although it is a heart-attack and stroke waiting to happen; It looks good to me! I wouldn't dare eat it often, but every so often it wouldn't kill anyone. Southerners have survived for years and to old age having eaten fat-filled fried foods; just as health-conscious people have dropped dead at a young age! You never know. I say we must enjoy life also. Try it every so often if wanted, and if not, there's no reason to trash the likes of Paula, the Neeleys, Big Daddy and others as I've heard many times. Stay away from Southern cooking if you don't like it.
