Day 327- Paula Deen Makes Having Type-2 Diabetes Profitable

I don't know much about Paula Deen or her cooking, which probably says a lot about her style of cooking already. What I do know is that she loves her fatty and deep fried foods. I as well love fat, and eat a lot of it in my diet, but the fats that I enjoy verse the ones that Paula enjoys are quite different.

Here is a great example of Paula Deen's style of cooking:

Fried Butter Balls:

Ingredients

2 sticks butter

2 ounces cream cheese

Salt and pepper

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 egg, beaten

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Peanut oil, for frying

Directions

Cream the butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper together with an electric mixer until smooth. Using a very small ice cream scoop, or melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment or waxed paper lined sheet pan. Freeze until solid. Coat the frozen balls in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs and freeze again until solid.

When ready to fry, preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.

Fry balls for 10 to 15 seconds until just light golden. Drain on paper towels before serving.

So is it any surprise that three years ago Paula was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes? I'm just surprised that it was only three years ago that she was finally diagnosed. What is surprising, or maybe a better word would be alarming, is that she keep this diagnosis a secret from the public as she continued to cook up her deliciously harmful meals.

So what made her finally make her condition public? She teamed up with the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk to promote their diabetic medicine, Victoza. Victoza, like most other pharmaceutical medications does not treat the condition, it merely masks the symptoms, without any health benefits.

The packaging for Victoza contains a FDA mandated "black box" warning, which is the federal agency's strongest warning used to alert consumers that grave health consequences are involved with the use of this product. The warning on the box says that the product "caused thyroid C-cell tumors at clinically relevant exposures in rodents." Oh and by the way, some of the other symptoms that may be present with this medication are headaches, nausea, and diarrhea. But that is all fine and dandy because there is also now a picture of Paula Deen smiling on the box with the quote, "live a life that's delicious."

"Live a Life that's Delicious." I can't think of a better team than Paula Deen and Novo Nordisk. Now people can eat whatever they want and never have to worry about their diabetes, because they have a pill that will take care of that for them. That's fine if they develop thyroid cancer because of the medication, because they will be able to get help with that as well down the road. Definitely not worth having to change their diet when that's what they enjoy eating.

"It's Deen's job, along with her sons, to help us see "Diabetes in a new light," according to the company's website." - Los Angeles Times

So Paula Deen followers, who took up her idea of cooking, most likely are on their way to or already have been diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes. And if they are true Paula Deen followers they may also be asking their doctors if $500 a month - Victoza is right for them. What a prefect marketing scheme. Who knows down the road when Paula develops cardiovascular disease as a result of her eating and blood sugar disorders may end up being a celebrity endorser of a statin drug as well.

This isn't the first celebrity endorsement campaign that Paula has been associated with. She is also associated with the industrial meat company, Smithfield. If you want to know what I think about that, just watch the movie Food Inc and that will sum it up.

Pura Vida!
