Paula Deen’s popularity has a great deal to do with people being tired of the food police. She's un-PC. We aren't interested in Michelle Obama’s hypocritical blandishments to do as she says, not as she does. We actually like our traditional foods, our comfort foods.

The problem is quite clearly not the foods we eat, since the bizarre rise in obesity and related illnesses coincides with the rise in so-called “healthy” eating. A too-sedentary lifestyle also arose more or less simultaneously, which is no coincidence.

Just get up off yer big butt and burn it off like our forefathers (and mothers) did. And, eat what you like, within moderation. That is the answer, not parsimonious, self-appointed food priests deigning to save us from ourselves, with the latest fad diet that ultimately proves harmful. Then, the silly cycle repeats with the next questionable concoction.
