In case the news hasn't spread, Chef Paula Deen is to make an official statement stating that she has type 2 diabetes. I find her food to be inedible (I don't see why you need to deep fry absolutely everything and then add 10 pieces of bacon, the rendered bacon fat and 12 sticks of butter to every dish). Her signature dish is actually a burger sandwiched between 2 doughnuts. A little uncessary. So given her culinary tastes, I have to say I'm not surprised that she has been diagnosed with diabetes. However, like Chef Anthony Bourdain, I am less than pleased with her new campaign "Diabetes in a New Light." She has created a partnership with Novo Nordisk, a diabetes drug maker! Bourdain said it best, tweeting "Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later."

Also, for those who don't follow Paula Deen's Show, here is the infamous Lady's Brunch Burger:
It's alive!!! (And real. For those who don't believe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paulas-home-cooking/the-ladys-brunch-burger-recipe/index.html)
I honestly wouldn't have believed you that that brunch burger is actually real, but I've seen it before actually, on this little gem of a website: http://thisiswhyyourefat.tumblr.com/.
