Yes, a lot of Paula's recipes are unhealthy. One word: moderation. She isn't twisting anyone's arm and forcing them to try her recipes, and it's pretty ridiculous to get on her case about making fatty foods when so many of us eat fast food on a regular basis.
She's wonderful. We love you Paula Deen! She's looked after the homeless and fed countless people in need. Anthony Bourdain eats guinea pigs. I can't imagine anything worse, so leave Paula Deen alone. She remains a shining light and pop culture queen of cuisine. Your fan base is stronger than ever Paula and none of these dumpster diving comments you see on you tube can change the fact you have millions of people supporting you!
I've met Paula Deen and she is so nice and down to earth. I grew up in the south and is all of the food down here healthy...no but its delicious. That's home cooking for you. Not many people realize what a tough life she has had. It's hard enough to make it in this world but it puts a smile on my face to see respectful loving people who have started from nothing and come out on top. She deserves every good thing that comes out of her sucess and I wish her the best :)
There is nothing poisonous about her recipes. She uses fresh whole ingredients. You may just want to eat them every single day. As far as diabetes is concerned, it can happen to anyone.
My 84 year old grandmother cooks just like Paula and she doesn't have high blood pressure or diabetes. She been cooking like that for 70 years and still going strong. Leave Paula alone, you don't have to watch her show.
Bourdain actually has classical culinary training and is a CHEF. Paula Deen is a homestyle cook who would rather have the culture stuck with the same old "Grandma's cooking" rather than innovate new dishes. My grandmother is one of the finest cooks I know, and she doesn't make the shit Deen makes. She understands the difference between making something rich and filling over "Just pour as much fat over it as you can until it tastes good."
It's her indulgent cooking style that made her popular in the first place, she was giving the audience what they wanted and it's kind of funny and sad that it has now backfired right on her face. That's the thing about fame, screw up and they will turn on you like rabid dogs.
It really doesn't matter what Ahole Bourdain or any of Paula Deen's haters think because it has absolutely NO bearing on her life whatsoever! She is clearly more successful than Bourdain will ever be and he will never even come close to bein as successful. He's a jealous asshole! Paula is a class act. Bourdain can't keep a fuckin job. Paula will be doin what she's doin as long as she wants. Paula's haters like Bourdain are IRRELEVANT! Go Paula Deen! :)
Poisonous? Her recipes are made from whole fresh ingredients. You just may not want to eat like that every single day. As far as diabetes is concerned, it can happen to anyone.
we all know that we want to try her food..im not going to stop watching her, because what fox news tells me..and besides anthony smoked or still smokes, he drinks, and he eats all kinds of things..he has no right to call her that..
anthony bourdain.. i like your show, but DO YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT JULIA CHILD? SHE COOKS HIGH BUTTER/ SUGARY FOODS IN HER LIFE, AND MADE A FORTUNE DOING IT.. SOOOOOO WHAT.... PAULA DEEN FED HER KIDS, AND HER GOAL WAS TO MAKE A LIVING AND SHE IS DOING THAT.. GOOD FOR HER
If you know Anthony Bourdain, you would know that he's an outspoken, against the grain, multi-talented, slightly cocky, creative genius, who is definitely on a higher level than these people. Anthony is complicated. This lady is simple. That should sum it up.
Paula Deen has a great attitude. Happiness and having a good spirit is very healthy. Stress is more harmful on your body than most food. Being able to laugh at negative things and enjoy life is the best medicine for your overall well being.
Thing is Bourdain is on cholesterol medication himself, so the pot is calling the kettle black. He eats some unhealthy stuff as well and doesn't seem to care about that at all. Yes Paula is a diabetic, but she has lost weight and changed her diet and encouraging others to do so. Yes Bourdain is an accomplished chef, but Paula caters to a much more different crowd as does all of Food Network hosts. I'm with you on Fox News though :-)
My uncle who is a smoker has had to have 2 stints put in b/c he would have had a heart attack and my great aunt was a smoker and died from a massive heart attack. The best thing that happened for her is she passed quickly w/o any pain but it sure would have been nice to have had her around longer and I miss her still to this day and she died 28 years ago. Another thing when smokers get sick with upper respiratory it's harder for them to heal and over come it (my smoking neighbor told me that).
Stop hating folks. As an adult you decide what you eat. I love that Paula shows millions how to make great food. If a dope dealer shows you how to cook up crack does that mean you go cook it up? Absolutely not! You make you own chooses. Don't hate Paula for show her talent and teaching millions
"keeps her disease (caused by her cooking)" There are people who eat in great excess and are fat and lazy and don't get diabetes. There are people who eat very healthy, exercise regularly, etc. and get diabetes. "She's the problem with the US. You guys have some DEEP rooted problems if you're defending her." There are some problems here, like everywhere else...however, a cooking show on the Food Network would not be at the top of my list as "the" deep rooted problem...that's absurd.
Doesn't anyone get the big picture? Nobody cooks the way Paula Deen does on a daily basis, and neither does Paula Deen (as she has said MANY times, folks). What Paula Deen is doing is giving us a sense for classic, deep south cooking as it's evolved over decades and centuries. Just watch the show and learn something about southern culture...start with Paula's sense of humour and the graciousness she uniformly exhibits and you'll be better off than you were at the outset.
i dont have kids..and first if its not organic, then its bad for you..its either covered with pesticides or its GMO..she never calls her self as a role model..she loves what she does, its on food network..all shows on their are family oriented..anthony show is on travel channel..not everything on their is family oriented..she just wants to share her food, and share her recipes..and uh..yea..he did..he has a book out..she never told anyone to go and buy it, neither did he..
"Her food is bad for you"! "Her food is killing people"? last time I checked butter and donuts weren't made by Paula Deen!! I'm sure the majority of the people "COOKING" the recipes she puts out are "adults"! An adult has the right to eat what ever the heck they want.... If we no that this crap is bad for us and still continue to eat it" That's no one's fault but your own"!!
Paula's right - she specializes in "wriggling" - she doesn't really address the most serious issue raised - how horrendously unhealthy her food is. I hate Anthony but the guy is right on this particular issue!
there is nothing wrong with her food..is it unhealthy..yes..all the food we eat are unhealthy..our food is not even food, its food like products..you can still eat her food, but cut back on some of the butter, and fried foods..
If Paula Deen wishes to cook in the style she likes, God bless her and let her continue. Just because she has diabetes is no reason for her to change. Keep using that butter, sugar, cream and everything else you want. We love you for it.
Bourdain is right her food is very inhealthy however all this from the man who stood constantly chain smoking in front of the french restaurant in NYC where he worked-such a happy fellow.
Like Fox News would take the side of a Liberal like Bourdain... And not take the side of the Southern.. almost positive that she is a Republican, Paula.
I agree with h Bourdain 100%. Nowadays there are many ways traditional southern dishes can be prepared healthy,..and Paula knows that. Not every damn thing has to contain loads of butter, oil, sugar & salt.
Forget Paula and Anthony, wtf is wrong with these news anchors??? Their soul job in life is to read off of a teleprompter, and they can't do it. Not good looking, can't read, geez Paula must be a saint to agree to come on air with them.
Ummm healthy I would bet not. Off heroin yes but the booze, whacky tabacy and cigs no. While AB can disagree with her style of cooking as I am sure most real chefs would, his style of attack is ridiculous. Also let's not forget each time I saw him on tv or something in print there was a publicity plug for his show or book.
Maybe you should research the topic before you open your mouth and show the world how very little you know. Paula Deen worked hard to get where she is and she didn't get there by belittling others. She is very for real, she is from Georgia. If you don't know anything about the South why are you speaking about it? For your own sake, to speak intelligently about something.....do your research first.
Anthony is bitter and jealous. Sure Paula has exploited herself a tad for her own profit, but her early days on the Food Network with Paula's Home Cooking are essential for any American home cook if you ask me. Great recipes, and an authentic Paula Deen before she got the veneered teeth and exploded into stores with cookware and Smithfield, and before she picked up additional shows on the Food Network. I wish they were available on DVD.
I don't care that Paula is fat. I don't care that she has diabetes. I don't care that she cooks food that most likely is the cause of her type II diabetes. However, if she is endorsing type II diabetes drugs and getting a paycheck from the drug companies then she deserves all the criticism she gets even if she is a nice lady.
So what? Did he portray it as something his viewers should eat, like her donut burger? Does it represent the sort of addictive lifestyle that leads to diabetes? No. He was sampling the food eaten by a tribe of bushmen in Namibia while visiting that country as part of his travels depicted on "No Reservations", simply to be polite to his hosts (which is a rather open-minded and educational gesture on his part), and declared it the "worst meal of his life". Your analogy is false.
i love anthony bourdain. He's absolutely hysterical.He makes fun of people and he is rude, thats just who he is. People should get thicker skin, because i do not think paula deen is taking this in stride at all.
I find this WRONG I am from the south as well and am getting tired of people thinking I am just like her. "Good Country Food" Is not filled with butter and grease. I am from Savannah as is she. It is not a shocker that she has Diabetes.
Much of Paula Deen's food is actually pretty good, but I never forgave the fried butter balls. She looks ridiculous with that tan and hairstyle. I do have to admire Bourdain's candor.
is it just me or is Fox politicizing this? it's saying, "Paula Deen is one of us. She's being attacked by an Eastcoast, smarty-panted, fancy dudded, man with a French last name." Or maybe I'm stereotyping rural Americans/Southerners. I don't know. Her accent brings back memories for me, though. I miss the South sometimes. Ok, I don't really miss it. But I do like to remember it.
So because she hasn't met Bourdain or cooked for him, that somehow falsifies his statements? Which ones? The one about one of her making dishes like a hamburger with donuts for buns? She does. The one about her using lots of unhealthy ingredients? She does. The one in which she should've known she'd get diabetes? Well, she should have. This is just typical misdirection by someone who can't accept valid criticism in an honest manner.
At least Bourdain has somewhat introduced people in the US to other foods and other cultures that most people in the US like Paula Deen are completely close minded about and would never even try to experience.
The solution is very simple. If you dislike Paula Deen's cooking methods, style, or recipes... change the channel. That's what I'll do when I see Bordaine's classless mug on mine from now on. Being a diabetic, I'm fully aware of what, how much, and where I should eat. Not all of Deen's cooking is unhealthy from what I recall, and even if it was... why can't someone indulge from time to time, if they wish to do so? It's called moderation, and some should consider that, when they speak out.
how can you sleep at night after making a living encouraging your viewers to cook and eat the very same food that's given you diabetes? obesity and diabetes are already huge issues in this country and especially in the south. you should take it as a moral obligation to use the huge following you have to encourage healthy living, not capitalize on one of the most pressing public health issues we've faced thus far.
Of course Fox would defend Paula Dean... No, wait, actually, that's kinda odd, as she IS responsible for the slow death of at least half their viewer-base.
I think the big issue at hand here, is the fact that the people on this show can not read what is in front of them. I haven't heard so many slip ups in a reading since Freshman speech class.
I don't think she's the worst cook in American but I agree with my cute old man Anthony that she shouldn't be cooking stuff like deep fried cheese cake seriously lmao
Responsibility can be SHARED, especially when you're talking about the exchange of information between an influential public figure and those prone to being influenced by her. Irresponsibility on her part does not preclude the same on the part of those influenced by her. As for suing her, I already commented on the notion of using the power of the law to ban, regulate or sue for healthy food: I'm against it. Government doesn't need to be in our lives more than it is.
@TheWild10 Fact is people have been eating Southern cuisine for hundreds of years, and there wasn't an obesity epidemic until recently. She's promoting keeping an American tradition alive, getting people to actually cook FRESH foods (rather than nuke processed stuff). And more than half of her recipes aren't fried. If people are too stupid to eat in moderation and eat a variety of different things (& way more people eat fast food, processed food, and convenience food than anything she has made)
Maybe this guy needs to grow up. We're adults. Some will eat stuff that's not good for them. Some will eat only healthy stuff. Last time I checked, it was none of my business what people eat. Long as I don't have to pay their grocery bill, what do I care?
... parts of the world do in fact largely eat food that not only tastes better but is also healthier. It isn't pure coincidence that Americans are among the most morbidly obese and have higher rates of heart disease; the truth is that Americans view food as a necessity (and get little enjoyment from it). Until then, stop with the unfounded xenophobic remarks.
Bourdain is a blunt person.... he doesn't need to "boost" his publicity, coz people watch his show and It's entertaining, he was being honest about it and it's kind of wrong because nobody deserve to get attacked like that, but again, he's really honest when it comes to food,
OMG I live in the South but am a yankee to the core. I just sit here in amazement at some of the comments on here about Paula Dean. I hope you peeps that are ragging so bad are not all from the north. How embarrassing.

Gotta love Bourdain--coming from a guy in the South.
He speaks the truth.
No one forces someone to shove any kind of food down their face. We are responsible for what we put in our mouths.
There is nothing poisonous about her recipes. She uses fresh whole ingredients. You may just want to eat them every single day. As far as diabetes is concerned, it can happen to anyone.
AND HE IS RIGHT.
Paula Deen is definitely a really good person by how she treats people.
My 84 year old grandmother cooks just like Paula and she doesn't have high blood pressure or diabetes. She been cooking like that for 70 years and still going strong. Leave Paula alone, you don't have to watch her show.

Poisonous? Her recipes are made from whole fresh ingredients. You just may not want to eat like that every single day. As far as diabetes is concerned, it can happen to anyone.
as a professional chef myself I could not agree more with Bourdain, the way these idiots cook is disgusting and I'm glad someone is calling them out!!
we all know that we want to try her food..im not going to stop watching her, because what fox news tells me..and besides anthony smoked or still smokes, he drinks, and he eats all kinds of things..he has no right to call her that..
Tony is a chef, we say what we think, we're not "targeting" people, just brutally honest when somebody ask our opinion.
anthony bourdain.. i like your show, but DO YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT JULIA CHILD?
SHE COOKS HIGH BUTTER/ SUGARY FOODS IN HER LIFE, AND MADE A FORTUNE DOING IT.. SOOOOOO WHAT.... PAULA DEEN FED HER KIDS, AND HER GOAL WAS TO MAKE A LIVING AND SHE IS DOING THAT.. GOOD FOR HER

Yes Bourdain is an accomplished chef, but Paula caters to a much more different crowd as does all of Food Network hosts.
I'm with you on Fox News though :-)
Her food is not indulgent. It's disgusting. And I don't have to liken it to drugs or call for banning it in order to express this.
Paula...it's not the fact that you feed them...it's HOW you feed them. if you feed them crap, it's not good. and i'm saying this as a conservative.
My uncle who is a smoker has had to have 2 stints put in b/c he would have had a heart attack and my great aunt was a smoker and died from a massive heart attack. The best thing that happened for her is she passed quickly w/o any pain but it sure would have been nice to have had her around longer and I miss her still to this day and she died 28 years ago.

I LOVE Anthony...he speaks his mind :)
Notice that nobody here (including Deen herself) actually says "No - your cooking's really good".
If she dyed her hair green, she would be a perfect stand-in for an oompa loompa.
i dont have kids..and first if its not organic, then its bad for you..its either covered with pesticides or its GMO..she never calls her self as a role model..she loves what she does, its on food network..all shows on their are family oriented..anthony show is on travel channel..not everything on their is family oriented..she just wants to share her food, and share her recipes..and uh..yea..he did..he has a book out..she never told anyone to go and buy it, neither did he..
anthony is clearly not professional to say such things. he looks like a psycho considering how calmly paula handled it
Anthony may be right, but way to go Paula for taking the high road. That's how you do it!
"Her food is bad for you"! "Her food is killing people"? last time I checked butter and donuts weren't made by Paula Deen!! I'm sure the majority of the people "COOKING" the recipes she puts out are "adults"! An adult has the right to eat what ever the heck they want.... If we no that this crap is bad for us and still continue to eat it" That's no one's fault but your own"!!
Did they know that Paula is a democrat? Shouldn't they have been insulting her every second they get? lmao
Paula's right - she specializes in "wriggling" - she doesn't really address the most serious issue raised - how horrendously unhealthy her food is. I hate Anthony but the guy is right on this particular issue!
We use her show for a drinking game, everytime she says "YALL" you have to drink.
there is nothing wrong with her food..is it unhealthy..yes..all the food we eat are unhealthy..our food is not even food, its food like products..you can still eat her food, but cut back on some of the butter, and fried foods..
Perhaps Fox News would one day care to employ presenters who can actually read?
If Paula Deen wishes to cook in the style she likes, God bless her and let her continue. Just because she has diabetes is no reason for her to change. Keep using that butter, sugar, cream and everything else you want. We love you for it.
Bourdain is right her food is very inhealthy however all this from the man who stood constantly chain smoking in front of the french restaurant in NYC where he worked-such a happy fellow.

I agree with h Bourdain 100%. Nowadays there are many ways traditional southern dishes can be prepared healthy,..and Paula knows that. Not every damn thing has to contain loads of butter, oil, sugar & salt.
Paula Deen doesn't leave her house for 20 years and now she's tanned like a Snooki?
Forget Paula and Anthony, wtf is wrong with these news anchors??? Their soul job in life is to read off of a teleprompter, and they can't do it. Not good looking, can't read, geez Paula must be a saint to agree to come on air with them.
She is a sweet person and not evil, but her diabetes sort of says it all.
Ummm healthy I would bet not. Off heroin yes but the booze, whacky tabacy and cigs no. While AB can disagree with her style of cooking as I am sure most real chefs would, his style of attack is ridiculous. Also let's not forget each time I saw him on tv or something in print there was a publicity plug for his show or book.
Who the F*^$ decided to allow Fox News to have a RUclips account?
if you dont like pauls food. dont eat it. simple. dont blame her for your poor eating decisions
Paula Deen is just deepfrying food that's mostly storebought, not even selfmade. Bourdain just told the truth even though he was rude.
Maybe you should research the topic before you open your mouth and show the world how very little you know. Paula Deen worked hard to get where she is and she didn't get there by belittling others. She is very for real, she is from Georgia. If you don't know anything about the South why are you speaking about it? For your own sake, to speak intelligently about something.....do your research first.
let this woman a long in the name of our Lord Jesus...
Paula now has revealed that she's had type 2 diabetes for 3 years.
Bottom line.....Anthony Bourdain was right!
Anthony is bitter and jealous. Sure Paula has exploited herself a tad for her own profit, but her early days on the Food Network with Paula's Home Cooking are essential for any American home cook if you ask me. Great recipes, and an authentic Paula Deen before she got the veneered teeth and exploded into stores with cookware and Smithfield, and before she picked up additional shows on the Food Network. I wish they were available on DVD.
I don't care that Paula is fat. I don't care that she has diabetes. I don't care that she cooks food that most likely is the cause of her type II diabetes. However, if she is endorsing type II diabetes drugs and getting a paycheck from the drug companies then she deserves all the criticism she gets even if she is a nice lady.
good lord, she looks like she's melting. She's literally sweating butter.
So what? Did he portray it as something his viewers should eat, like her donut burger? Does it represent the sort of addictive lifestyle that leads to diabetes? No. He was sampling the food eaten by a tribe of bushmen in Namibia while visiting that country as part of his travels depicted on "No Reservations", simply to be polite to his hosts (which is a rather open-minded and educational gesture on his part), and declared it the "worst meal of his life". Your analogy is false.
i love anthony bourdain. He's absolutely hysterical.He makes fun of people and he is rude, thats just who he is. People should get thicker skin, because i do not think paula deen is taking this in stride at all.
To quote the orange woman from south of the Mason-Dixon line..."I have no idea"...says it all.
I find this WRONG I am from the south as well and am getting tired of people thinking I am just like her. "Good Country Food" Is not filled with butter and grease. I am from Savannah as is she. It is not a shocker that she has Diabetes.
When they started showing her throw the ham out to people I thought they accidentally used the clip where it got thrown at her face... Haha
She needs to respond to the allegations that she is getting paid by drug companies.
Much of Paula Deen's food is actually pretty good, but I never forgave the fried butter balls. She looks ridiculous with that tan and hairstyle. I do have to admire Bourdain's candor.
is it just me or is Fox politicizing this? it's saying, "Paula Deen is one of us. She's being attacked by an Eastcoast, smarty-panted, fancy dudded, man with a French last name." Or maybe I'm stereotyping rural Americans/Southerners. I don't know. Her accent brings back memories for me, though. I miss the South sometimes. Ok, I don't really miss it. But I do like to remember it.
So because she hasn't met Bourdain or cooked for him, that somehow falsifies his statements? Which ones? The one about one of her making dishes like a hamburger with donuts for buns? She does. The one about her using lots of unhealthy ingredients? She does. The one in which she should've known she'd get diabetes? Well, she should have. This is just typical misdirection by someone who can't accept valid criticism in an honest manner.
Anthony bourdain never made ANY screw ups God knows.🤣🤣
She makes comfort food you are not supposed to constantly eat comfort food it's about moderation
At least Bourdain has somewhat introduced people in the US to other foods and other cultures that most people in the US like Paula Deen are completely close minded about and would never even try to experience.
Fox news anchor that can't read? I'm shocked...
The solution is very simple. If you dislike Paula Deen's cooking methods, style, or recipes... change the channel. That's what I'll do when I see Bordaine's classless mug on mine from now on. Being a diabetic, I'm fully aware of what, how much, and where I should eat. Not all of Deen's cooking is unhealthy from what I recall, and even if it was... why can't someone indulge from time to time, if they wish to do so? It's called moderation, and some should consider that, when they speak out.
I agree that Paula's recipes are unhealthy, but one, its your decision whether you cook her food or not, and two, Bourdain was extremely rude.
I don't like her cooking, I don't like her exaggerated accent but I like her.
All that butter has seeped through her skin and has given her a delicious orange crust.
how can you sleep at night after making a living encouraging your viewers to cook and eat the very same food that's given you diabetes? obesity and diabetes are already huge issues in this country and especially in the south. you should take it as a moral obligation to use the huge following you have to encourage healthy living, not capitalize on one of the most pressing public health issues we've faced thus far.
Of course Fox would defend Paula Dean... No, wait, actually, that's kinda odd, as she IS responsible for the slow death of at least half their viewer-base.
Bourdain hit the nail on the head re Paula Deen. She tried to monetize her diabetes
I think the big issue at hand here, is the fact that the people on this show can not read what is in front of them. I haven't heard so many slip ups in a reading since Freshman speech class.
Peeeedd, she said peed ! LOL
Bourdain could only wish to be as classy as Paula Deen.
i love you paula!!!!!!!
Anthony bourdain was right, he should have not apologized.
I don't think she's the worst cook in American but I agree with my cute old man Anthony that she shouldn't be cooking stuff like deep fried cheese cake seriously lmao
She made a sandwich with donuts. It was really stupid.
Responsibility can be SHARED, especially when you're talking about the exchange of information between an influential public figure and those prone to being influenced by her. Irresponsibility on her part does not preclude the same on the part of those influenced by her. As for suing her, I already commented on the notion of using the power of the law to ban, regulate or sue for healthy food: I'm against it. Government doesn't need to be in our lives more than it is.
the chick in the middle should just do the entire newscast with her legs open.
just sayin.
@TheWild10 Fact is people have been eating Southern cuisine for hundreds of years, and there wasn't an obesity epidemic until recently. She's promoting keeping an American tradition alive, getting people to actually cook FRESH foods (rather than nuke processed stuff). And more than half of her recipes aren't fried.

Paula looks like a cartoon, Anthony is a wimpy wanna be tough guy, but both are entertaining in their own way.
I was about to write something mean about paula deen but then she said "he can come to my house ill cook him a meal" that was nice :D
i'm not surprised fox news has got paul deen's back,
FoodNetWork sucks! Anthony is 110 percent right! The only show worth watching is Triple D!!!
Who wants a heart attack? Who wants diabetes type 2? Me me me, then I'll eat overly sugared, high fat, lots of sodium food. Yummy.
Leave it to Fox to make something out of nothing.
Oh this is Fox News too, so that says a LOT.
Maybe this guy needs to grow up. We're adults. Some will eat stuff that's not good for them. Some will eat only healthy stuff. Last time I checked, it was none of my business what people eat. Long as I don't have to pay their grocery bill, what do I care?
Paula peed in Bourdain's cereal bowl. Bourdain is upset.
Bloody hell, can anyone who works on Fox & Friends read on a fifth grade level?
... parts of the world do in fact largely eat food that not only tastes better but is also healthier.
It isn't pure coincidence that Americans are among the most morbidly obese and have higher rates of heart disease; the truth is that Americans view food as a necessity (and get little enjoyment from it). Until then, stop with the unfounded xenophobic remarks.
Bourdain is a blunt person.... he doesn't need to "boost" his publicity, coz people watch his show and It's entertaining, he was being honest about it and it's kind of wrong because nobody deserve to get attacked like that, but again, he's really honest when it comes to food,
There isn't enough shit to do with food to keep all these cooks on tv.
lol @ peeing in his bowl of cereal... "We don't eat bugs"
But clearly she is a menace given the obesity and diabetes epidemics...
OMG I live in the South but am a yankee to the core. I just sit here in amazement at some of the comments on here about Paula Dean. I hope you peeps that are ragging so bad are not all from the north. How embarrassing.
