Last week, TV chef Paula Deen announced that shes been suffering from type 2 diabetes for the past three years. She acknowledged that a person has to make changes in your life but apparently, Deen hasnt apparently changed all that much. TMZ posted a photo of Deen woolfing down a cheeseburger on Monday while on a 7-day Caribbean cruise. The 65-year-old chef was hosting her annual Party at Sea vacation for 400 fans. TMZ says Deen also had fries on her plate.

Good God these food Nazi’s really make me sick. Paula Deen can eat whatever she wants, its HER life. Meanwhile Michelle Obama, who goes around preaching about eating healthy, eats like a pig and no one cares
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
Made it nearly seventy days
Losin’ weight without speed, eatin’ sunflower seeds
Drinkin’ lots of carrot juice and soakin’ up rays
But at night I’d had these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettucini or Bulgar wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
Not too particular not too precise (paradise)
I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise
Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a holiday inn
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/jimmy+buffett/cheeseburger+in+paradise_10150068.html ]
Times have changed for sailors these days
When I’m in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed
Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Medium rare with mustard ‘be nice (paradise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do I steer for my
Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Makin’ the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise
Coda:
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do I steer for my
Deen is white, and white women are supposed to be skinnier than a string bean. Black women like Mooochelle are allowed to be full-figured.
She can eat whatever she wants but I hope she’s not for government health care.
Not only that but a cheeseburger has protein as well as carbs. She may not have been planning to eat all those fries, or even all that cheeseburger. What idiots.
Cheeseburgers, being mainly protein, don’t cause spikes in one’s blood-sugar.
“TMZ says Deen also had fries on her plate.”
Well the fries are a worse choice for a Type II diabetic than a cheeseburger.
People who take diabetes medication can have the occasional cheeseburger. Enjoy your burger, Paula, and I’m gonna have to go out and buy one of your books.
“TMZ says Deen also had fries on her plate.”
Well the fries are a worse choice for a Type II diabetic than a cheeseburger.
They’re amputating my leg y’all.
“TMZ says Deen also had fries on her plate.”
Well the fries are a worse choice for a Type II diabetic than a cheeseburger.
"..she never struck me as being a light footed celery chewer"
She looks like one of the characters in the movie Elizabethtown.
Good movie, btw.
"How dare she?"
Her books are a fun read ...
Liberals want to control every single thing a person does..Government controlling EVERYTHING, including what you put in your mouth. Not saying that Paula Deen, who has diabetes, should be eating cheeseburgers but its her decision..she wants to eat a burger, good for her. I love burgers, might go grab one from Johnny Rockets tomorrow :-)
Oh and meat is also full of iron, which is why I eat it
The food Nazi’s would have her on the pyramid diet, and her blood sugar would be off the charts. As far as type 2 diabetes goes, the biggest problem with eating a cheese burger is the bun. Eat away.
Would you rather enjoy a nice juciy cheesburger now? (preferably a double with bacon) or wheeze a few extra moments into your resperator 20 years from now?
I am not saying wolf down fatburgers until you die 20 years sooner, but ENJOY LIFE and the occasionaly pleasure like this (everything in moderation! wasn’t that from the bible or james kirk or something?)
Good lord in heaven, leave the poor woman alone already.
