Reading Between The (Head)Lines

Re: "she is a shrewd business-woman who would pimp out her own pancreas for a nice fat pharmaceutical endorsement check?"

Touche' Doc! "pimp out her own pancreas" is an alliteration as rich as Paula's Deep Fried Mac and Cheese!

Are you kidding me? Anthony Bourdain has no room to talk. He actually ate unwashed warthog rectum! I'll take my chances with butter.

"How do we continue to believe the personality Paula has created of the More-To-Love Auntie who wants nothing more than to give you comfort, home, and a nice casserole, when we can see for ourselves that she is a shrewd business-woman who would pimp out her own pancreas for a nice fat pharmaceutical endorsement check?"
This is the best thing I've read all day, Dr. Dale! It's a refreshing mouthful of truth that has the power to reach out and across and professionaly, yet tactfully, bitch-slap that dirty woman in her two faces.
Granted, I've never liked her...but I get why people bought into her butter-thing...because they want to and maybe also because they need to, to support their food addiction. Just like a person who watches a commercial for diet pill, or sweat wicking socks, or kitchen gizmos, or whatever miracle product we think we need to make our lives happier, easier, more delicious with less calories and more special and better and gooder with extra goodness. Then the idea is you turn off the TV and come back to planet Earth, suck it up and eat salad for dinner.
She's probably just as shrew as business men in her field...and Anthony Bourdain is harping all over her because he's probably in her same category but doesn't want to see himself in the southen buttah lady...He's a recovered addict...and I would hang out with him over Miss Paula anyday...but he lives in a glass house. I think anyone who goes down the road of unethical buisness practices has to deal with those consequences...I just hope that someday we all get smarter than our carnal desires and find more civilized ways to exist all around. We're all still really primally driven (me too, I'm human...it's awful)..so we're pretty easy to trick...it's just that there are fewer of us willing to actually go to such 'pimptastic'? extremes to make a buck.
Either way, I've read tons of articles about her ion the past 48 hours because I have an unhealthy obsession with food and fat people and misanthropy...and I really liked your article the best because it had great flare!

I wonder how someone would be tempted from these recipes... Perhaps only on Easter day, like once a year! All this fat looks like poison, doesn't it!

Paula plays a game, she's been playing a game. She's wearing a costume. The costume is a fat suit and a fluffy silver wig. She bats her eyelashes. She calls people she doesn't know 'sugar' and 'honey'. In every sentence Paula refers to her family: her husband, her sons, her grandchild. Paula Deen ramps up her southern accent like no other.

Paula Deen is your grandmother.

We all know to love and respect grandma. We certainly wouldn't insult grandma, especially when grandma calls us honeybun. Grandma cares about us. Grandma feeds us cookies. Like good people we eat our cookies without ever complaining even though we don't want a cookie and know that cookies are bad for us.

Paula Deen knows how we treat our grandmas. Not only does Paula Deen know about our cultural view of grandma but so does every overweight grandma on the planet. So when you insult Paula Deen you are insulting billions of grandmas. When you love Paula Deen you love grandma. Insult Paula Deen and you are evil.

If Paula Deen was thin, young and male he would be the most hated person alive and would have never gotten a Food Network TV show, a ham endorsement or a lucrative diabetes medication spokesperson deal.
