No much sympathy for Paula. When you promote sickness and death, you can’t be surprised when you get sickness and death. And now she is turning to medication for help. Pretty pathetic. Just change your diet, Paula. But there is no lucrative deal in that.

Nutritionally speaking, this is an absurd statement. No food is bad, unless it is spoiled with bacteria or laden with heavy metals. If you eat in a manner consistent with daily energy requirements, don't limit yourself to a single macronutrient (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), and get sufficient physical activity, you're not going to get sick any more frequently or die any sooner than anyone else because of the food. And, yes, I literally am an expert on human nutrition.

Good fat from healthy animals doesnt make you fat. It doesnt give you diabetes. But it does contain cholesterol, which the human body does not need or want more than it makes itself. Animal fat is NEVER good fat.

Well, ain’t that something?
I guess we all will be forced by Mamma-Obama to only drink purified water and eat soylent green to keep healthy.
When I die, they will find me lying on the floor, face up with a napkin around my neck, a butter knife in my right hand, a fork in my left hand and a smile on my face.

Paula Deen is not responsible for anybody’s food choices.
I watch her show to get either some ‘special’ recipes or to find out how to make a simple southern dish.
But in the long run, it is up to me to decide how much butter, fat, cream etc. I use.
I make that final choice, not Paula.

That's what I see wrong with Paula Deen's cooking. 1) most everything is cooked, 2) too much macronutrient, i.e. calorie dense food. Humans are the only species that cooks their food.

Well I can gaurandamntee it wasn’t the eggs, bacon or hamburger that caused diabetes. Eggs have .6 carbs, bacon and hamburger have 0 carbs. Any pastries eaten will have loads of carbs which actually put more glucose into the blood stream than the sugar in the donuts. Anyone hyping this diet as a diabetes starter are simply full of sh**.

Fair to say in your opinion that the typical American diet has too many macronutrients and not enough micronutrients? That's what I see wrong with Paula Deen's cooking. 1) most everything is cooked, 2) too much macronutrient, i.e. calorie dense food. Humans are the only species that cooks their food.
If you eat a varied diet that includes meat, you will get all the micronutrients (minerals and vitamins) that you need to prevent deficiency diseases (there are other uses for them that are alleged but not as definitively demonstrated as their role in deficiency disease), though women usually need more calcium than they get in their diets and most people in a modern, heavily clothed, spend-most-time-indoors-or-in-car society need more vitamin D than they typically synthesize. Vitamins are not usually destroyed by cooking, though you could lose some in water that plants are cooked in. Minerals are not destroyed by cooking.
As far as calories go, the number one requirement for human life is gross kilocalories of food energy and water. Without micronutrients it can take many months to decades to develop a deficiency disease (and this is usually in the context of a diet relying on a single macronutrient such as pellagra from living off an almost exclusive corn meal diet throughout winter months), without macronutrients you'll start to weaken within a day or so, become seriously impaired within a couple weaks, and die within a few months (unless you were gigantically obese or extremely heavily muscled to begin with). Without water, of course, you'll die in a matter of weeks.
Humans are also one of the longest lived mammals on earth. Most mammals have a heartbeat/longevity/size ratio that is fairly well fixed. You reach the end of your alloted heartbeats, unless you're taken out by a scavenger or accident or disease first, and you die. Human life span vastly exceeds this. It probably has a lot to do with agriculture making a lot of food available and cooking and food prep techniques that 1. makes nutrients in food more easily available, 2. kills parasites and fungus, 3. can help remove substances from raw sources that would otherwise harm or impair health.

She's disgusting and her husband can't open his eyes he is so fat. Ina makes the best food and she is very well mannered unlike Paula who cooks with all that junk jewelry and licks her fingers.

Ran into Paula once at the Local Publix. She was eating a piece of Publix Fried Chicken.
I thought about wrestling it away from her, but, only so I could have it.
AS the poster upstream posted, Humans live much longer than other mammals, and, as such, of course we will get diseases of age.
We’re all gonna Die, you might as well have fun doing it.

Cut out all sugar, white flour, bread and pasta. Huh? That's crazy. Why would anyone want to do this rather than enjoying these wonderful things, like everything else, in moderation?

I don’t know about THE best (my Grandma made some mean fried chicken), but, it is VERY VERY good.
Even Paula said “that’s good fried chicken”.

No, this is pretty well researched by now.

Sugar, white flour, bread and pasta is poison? Is that really what you're saying?
If so, that's crazier than crazy.

Yes, that is what I am saying, and that is not crazy, that is pretty much mainstream nutritional thought. Add white rice to the list as well.
If flour, bread and pasta are whole grain, only then are they good for you. The white or "enriched" stuff is a killer.
