Day 18 - Paula Deen, Shame on You

I listened to this morning's news, and it seems that the well- known Southern Chef, who has brought us such delicacies as deep fried cheesecake and burgers served on doughnuts in place of rolls, is now suffering from Type 2 Diabetes. Normally I would feel a bit sympathetic towards her, but I am a bit outraged instead. I guess the outrage comes from the fact that she knew about the diabetes 3 years ago, and she knew that her cooking style contributed to it, yet she continued to promote her way of cooking on her TV show as well as issuing new cookbooks. This morning she tried to explain everything away by saying, "Moderation, y'all, I propose everything in moderation." These days whether it be a chef or a politician, it seems to me that they all tend to  follow the path of Do as I say, not as I do. I think it is time for these kinds of folks to fade into the background. I am more than ready for an upheaval, and welcome aboard those who do as they say!

January 18, 2012: On a cold and windy January day, I am thankful that I have an exercise bike in my spare bedroom, a plus is that I can ride it while I watch TV.
