Paula Deen diabetes

Hey, Ya'll 
Many of you probably know of Paula Deen.  What many people don't know is that she had a recent diagnosis of type II diabetes. According to Forbes it hasn't put a dent in her earnings. Paula may be known as the butter queen, but bounce back queen might be more of an appropriate title. It's hard to think of a worse endorsement for her butter soaked southern cooking empire than to have such an illness. Through it all her business has thrived and seems as healthy as ever.

Deen told USA Today that since the diagnosis,she walks on her treadmill and quit drinking good ole southern sweet tea. " I have always eaten in moderation" she said"you know, people see me on TV two or three times a day and they see me cooking ll these wonderfully southern,fattening dishes. That's only thirty out of 365 and it's entertainment and people have to be responsible. Like I told Oprah a few years ago, honey, I'm your cook, not your doctor. You are going to be responsible for yourself."

While Deen continues cooking her fatty comfort food, her son Bobby has been promoting lower-calorie versions of his moms recipes. He has a new food network show called "not my mama's meals." 

Whatever the Deen's are doing it's this girls opinion that they need to keep the yummy ideas and humor coming, what would life be without a little southern hospitality ya'll.
