Aug 2011- Anthony Bourdain told TV Guide that Paula Deen was “the worst, most dangerous person to America,” who “revels in her unholy connections with evil corporations” and is “proud of the fact that her food is f—ing bad for you.”
Anthony for all his efforts to promote responsible cooking, then got bombarded with hate mail from the public for his comments about Paula though. So how is Paula doing these days health wise?
Just today mid January 2012 , Paula announced to the media that she had diabetes and had had it for 3 years. Paula is the Food Network chef famous for her recipe of a bacon cheeseburger served up between 2 donuts and other nasty concoctions, who also tells people to practice ‘moderation’ in their diets!
At the press conference she then also announced that diabetes or not, that she had no plans to change the way she cooks her ‘Southern food’! She says that diabetes is not a death sentence, too. So there!
Good luck, Paula… Some people (Anthony Bourdain for example) are just that stubborn. They don’t want you to be killing yourself, that’s why. FYI, ‘Fat Chef’ premiers on the Food Network starting Jan. 26th 2012! Sounds like it will be yet another very sadly funny show.

Good post. On the same topic, her son is trying to influence with healthier versions of her Southern style cooking.
