type 2 diabetes has a link to a certain processed additive that was used starting in the early 1900. if you can remove it from your diet you can defeat type 2 diabetes .
haha i love this, to the point, I keep wondering how we can re-educate people to think for their own selves and not believe everything they come across, but people usually have to suffer a lot before they find that spark to want to become better and to become 'individuals'
I love this video...my sentiments exactly. Favorite book... Eat, Pray, Love....we should all be practicing that, instead of judging one another for our choices. What you see as a poor choice, others may see as a good choice....it's all subjective if you ask me.
Not on this topic - but I was curious if you were a youtube partner before starting covers OR did you become a partner even though you had covers posted...not quite sure of the actual 'rules'. You opinion and response would be greatly valued!!!
It wouldn't be considered southern cooking without butter. Paula doesn't have to share private things with the public. Plus its not like she's forcing people to eat the food that is within her cooking style. Its up to the person to think for themselves on what is healthy and what is not.
I agree with most of your points but re: the coffee thing, the lady who spilled it on herself got severe chemical burns - it was served at an unnecessarily high temperature and really, was a danger to consumers. Sorry to nitpick.
this was good.. I liked it a lot.. and laughed a little.
btw. I'm reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.. everyone has and has said good things about it. It starts off slow but gets pretty good! and yes, I will probably see the movie. In both languages. Also.. as for my life. I decided to leave the town I feel like I'm drowning in and taking myself to the mountains!
SIDE NOTE-- I am SO used to my phone correcting my spelling, I expect my computer to do it too.. doesn't happen. Bummer.
Paula also reminds us that sometimes the positive contribution that we can make in the world is to be a good example to those stupid backward ignorant people.
I would love it if more people focused on making a positive change in the world. Its those stupid backward ignorant people that remind us what we do not want to be. Like if there was nothing bad in the world, how would be know what's good? But there has to be a balance. Our bodies have a way of reminding us of this. Paula Deen is no exception. She is a more extreme example that shows us that our choices have consequences.
I only know paula dean through tumblr, but I feel about paula dean the way o feel about the kardashians. Ppl bitch about how kim k made millions on the wedding and then go and watch keeping up, but they are the ones hyping it up and therefore giving them power in the media
I do think Paula Deen had to disclose that fact that she had diabetes BECAUSE she was planning on working with a company that sells diabetic medicine. The idea is that the audience will buy a product if it is endorsed by someone in the same situation as them. If you see them getting better you're more likely to think it will work for you. If she wasn't doing the campaign then it wouldn't have been anyone's business.
People need to be responsible for their own actions??? WHAT A THOUGHT! Paula Dean's health problems are no ones business and she didn't owe it to anyone to disclose that information.
i have never heard of paula dean before it is my decision to research her to see what all the fuss is about... and even though i dont know who she is i thought this was very very funny ♥♥
I really don't care about Paula Deen, I know her food is ridiculously disgusting and unhealthy my only problem is that she waited until it was beneficial to her to spread the news. Yeah people should know that eating her food is unhealthy but pretending that it's not for so long just get an endorsement deal is really appalling to me. I just think that since she chose to live a public life she should recognize the consequences of her influence on people.
I think it's horribly sad that Paula Deen got diabetes, but wonderful at the same time. It may sound cruel that I think it's wonderful, but I just think it could be a kick in the ass of all the people who smother their food in sugar and butter. When you eat like that, bad things happen to your body. Paula Deen is now proof and I hope everybody remembers her diabetes when cooking up a recipe similar to any of hers.
I love when people have epiphanies and start to eat healthier & cleaner.
I said something almost exactly the same, except you were a bit more polite. I remember saying something to the effect of "I just hope you don't reproduce first!"
i have multiple sclerosis and i have decided not to take any of the MS meds because they cause so much damage and have a 33% effectiveness. the docs keep trying to shove it down my throat. i havent been on anything since July 2010 and i dont feel any worse than i did before. thank you for speaking ur mind. there is too much bullshit out there anymore that its nice to listen to the truth.
I think there's kind of another group of people you didn't address--people who have diabetes that are annoyed that Paula Dean is just profiting off of the disease. I wish she would have done some type of PSA thing instead of being the spokesperson for some medication, but hey. Oh well. I've already given too much thought to this. I need to worry about graduating from college...wow. Sounds weird even saying that.
I understand that people are morons because they are... I have to deal with them at work everyday. However, she's in the public eye and people watch her so I could also see why people would be upset to hear this news. Once again... people are fucking idiots though haha
My friend has been preaching this forever. Your life is much too short to be concerned with such petty things.
Ten years ago, I decided to teach myself sign language from books in the library. Today, I am in college studying to become a teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing. I feel my decision was worthwhile.
One of my favorite books is "She's Come Undone," by Wally Lamb. I love to read while eating chunks of butter dipped in tempura batter, deep fried in lard, and smothered in melted dark chocolate.
Yes Gurl and I make my own decision to go to Paula's Buffet and proudly eat 7 plates and go back as soon as possible to go again im in my lower 20s so i'll do it while I can! I'm proud of my decision and it makes me happy as hell and unfortunately prego with a food baby quite often heart u!
I don't think our culture understands what a book is. They're too busy buying magazines and such with their Nooks and Kindles.
BTW - you're brilliant. And I adore the classics...Shakespeare, Poe, Austen, C.S. Lewis, etc. I also enjoy Libba Bray's "A Great and Terrible Beauty." Good stuff. :)
@tonjesml PLEASE, PLEASE, start a weekly show where you comment on pop culture THIS WAS HILARIOUS. Seriously, your vlogs against twitter trends are always funny.
BTW -- One of my favourite books has to be Rinkitink In Oz.
I think Cookie Monster has also weighed in on this issue: "Cookies are a sometimes food." Seriously, you can eat any ridiculous thing you want, as long as you only do it once in a while, and eat sensibly the rest of the time. I love occasionally making something fatty and rich and sinful for dinner, but I have to sandwich it in the middle of a week of healthy meals.
don't have an overall favourite book because reading is incredible regardless, but *shameless tfios plug* EVERYONE GO READ THE FAULT IN OUR STARS BY JOHN GREEN! :)
I think Paula Deen (which I thought was spelled Dean, don't know why) is getting money and doesn't care about what people are saying so I don't see the point in ranting and raving about it. As you said it's not gonna stop her. I wish her well :).
What Kelly just said! Surassly, gf. (& I kinda LUV the whole "You're a #^%n' IDIOT!" thing. Coz normally I wouldn't but you made it work. Keep makin it work, dear one! ALL OF IT <3 <3
Go you!!! Lol. It's nice to hear ppl talk about how they feel and not care what others think! Our world is so judgmental but if we all took the time to see the beauty in things then we wouldnt have as many issues.
idk I think that if the way you make a living is directly related to promoting an unhealthy lifestyle that you should be upfront about having a disease that directly correlates to it. If she was an actress or a singer I would think differently. And pay the bills? Seriously? This woman is a millionaire. IMO she should give the profits of her endorsement to diabetes research.
i think why everyones all up in arms is because paula is making it OK to get diabetes. "why not have that cheeseburger and fries and supersize shake... theres a pill i can take to make it all better! look at how paula deen eats, i can too cause theres a magic potion that will keep me healthy!" its wool over everyones eyes. diabeties can usually be reversed (and more importantly PREVENTED) with clean eating. but why not just take a fucking pill, cause its easier and you can still stuff your face
Paula Dean SUCKS People should stop watching her show people should stop buying her crap telling everyone she has this condition so she can sale some meds look she should have just kept this to herself instead of pertending like she cares about this cause she just wants to make a dollar stop buying her stuff and stop with the whole KimKhole and her sister stuff too just stop people
Well put! :D It's just human nature to want to blame someone else for their actions! Just because their afraid to make their own decisions. Nobody makes you start smoking, eat unhealty, start parachuting etc. Here in Norway we laugh a lot about the american culture with everbody sewing each other for everything. Like putting your cat in the microwave because the instructions didn't say that you couldn't! ;) Seriously? ;) haha.. But you are a lovely person! :)
I think Paula Dean is a slave owner woman. Look she is doing a deal to make money
not to do something for free or to help out but she is telling the world she has this condition so that she can sale some meds what a horrible slave owner YES SHE IS VERY EVIL
& why the hell would anyone feel betrayed just another white person sucking blood from dumb
Most recipes exist and can be altered to suit the cooker so therefore if someone wants to change the lb of butter to margarine or other means, that is free to do so. Sadly, those that cook know this and most people don't and think that recipes exist as is and are the end all be all. Course I'm assuming that people other than me actually cook at home and use that forgotten room called the kitchen. -_-;
You raised some good points, especially about personal responsibility. Not so sure about the "You are a f*****g idiot" type statements, though. How is that different from them? You essentially ask them to respect the place others are in in their lives, then disrespect their place. The same message could be less confrontational. This approach only raises defensiveness. Don't mean to be disrespectful - I only bother to write this because I have so much respect for your talent and aspirations.
I love this. Celebrates should not be held responsible for the decisions that the general public make. If their only form of education is Paula D. They need to go to a library.
The problem is people ARE stupid and the producers of the Paula Deen show KNOW that and that's why it's aired (irresponsibly). It's sad that people feel betrayed, but that's our country, ranked 21st in science education among the 30 industrialized countries... and Paula Deen's audience weeds out the people that got us a score THAT high. I don't feel betrayed personally, 'cause I'm smarter than that, but I feel the whole thing is bullshit. No, I KNOW it's bullshit.
What pisses me off more than the Paula Deen thing is all the Prilosec and Prevacid ads that act like that's the bandaid for the situation. The treatment isn't medicine, the treatment is not eating so much crap that upsets your stomach. Don't down a burrito doused in hot sauce vs. doing that and then taking a medicine to block the proton pumps in your stomach from doing their naturally intended job!
Hell they've got Larry the Fuckin' Cable Guy practically saying "Hey guys, be cool and eat like a fat slob and take a med to cover the painful cries of your digestive system like I do!"
COVER SUGGESTION: AC/DC "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" hehe...
I think I paid more attention to this than a lot of people 'cause my wife is an engineer with Abbott, a company that works to treat diabetes by responsible diet and exercise management vs. taking a pill and eating Krispy Kremes.
I have absolutely no idea who paula deen is (now with a look to the right YT suggests a few videos.. ugh), but watching you kinda rant and listening to it, is worth 4:31 of my time. Definitely! Luv ya. Kind of :D
Aaaand you can touch me as often as you want if you ever come to germany.
Medical statuses, are just that...medical issues. Not anyone's business. TOTALLY AGREE! Grow up people and make your own decisions. Best line ever: "If you are someone who is upset and feels deceived because Paula Deen didn't tell you that eating a pound of butter a day was a bad idea...you're a fucking idiot."
AMEN!! well said ... favorite book anything by Dan Brown! :D have a great day!

I think Paula Deen (which I thought was spelled Dean, don't know why) is getting money and doesn't care about what people are saying so I don't see the point in ranting and raving about it. As you said it's not gonna stop her. I wish her well :).
And my favorite book is Afraid by Jack Kilborn.

idk I think that if the way you make a living is directly related to promoting an unhealthy lifestyle that you should be upfront about having a disease that directly correlates to it. If she was an actress or a singer I would think differently. And pay the bills? Seriously? This woman is a millionaire. IMO she should give the profits of her endorsement to diabetes research.

i think why everyones all up in arms is because paula is making it OK to get diabetes. "why not have that cheeseburger and fries and supersize shake... theres a pill i can take to make it all better! look at how paula deen eats, i can too cause theres a magic potion that will keep me healthy!" its wool over everyones eyes. diabeties can usually be reversed (and more importantly PREVENTED) with clean eating. but why not just take a fucking pill, cause its easier and you can still stuff your face

Paula Dean SUCKS People should stop watching her show people should stop buying her crap telling everyone she has this condition so she can sale some meds look she should have just kept this to herself instead of pertending like she cares about this cause she just wants to make a dollar stop buying her stuff and stop with the whole KimKhole and her sister stuff too just stop people

Well put! :D It's just human nature to want to blame someone else for their actions! Just because their afraid to make their own decisions. Nobody makes you start smoking, eat unhealty, start parachuting etc. Here in Norway we laugh a lot about the american culture with everbody sewing each other for everything. Like putting your cat in the microwave because the instructions didn't say that you couldn't! ;) Seriously? ;) haha.. But you are a lovely person! :)

I think Paula Dean is a slave owner woman. Look she is doing a deal to make money
not to do something for free or to help out but she is telling the world she has this condition so that she can sale some meds what a horrible slave owner YES SHE IS VERY EVIL
& why the hell would anyone feel betrayed just another white person sucking blood from dumb
Americans & she is a horrible woman

Most recipes exist and can be altered to suit the cooker so therefore if someone wants to change the lb of butter to margarine or other means, that is free to do so. Sadly, those that cook know this and most people don't and think that recipes exist as is and are the end all be all. Course I'm assuming that people other than me actually cook at home and use that forgotten room called the kitchen. -_-;

You raised some good points, especially about personal responsibility. Not so sure about the "You are a f*****g idiot" type statements, though. How is that different from them? You essentially ask them to respect the place others are in in their lives, then disrespect their place. The same message could be less confrontational. This approach only raises defensiveness. Don't mean to be disrespectful - I only bother to write this because I have so much respect for your talent and aspirations.

I love this. Celebrates should not be held responsible for the decisions that the general public make. If their only form of education is Paula D. They need to go to a library.

The problem is people ARE stupid and the producers of the Paula Deen show KNOW that and that's why it's aired (irresponsibly). It's sad that people feel betrayed, but that's our country, ranked 21st in science education among the 30 industrialized countries... and Paula Deen's audience weeds out the people that got us a score THAT high. I don't feel betrayed personally, 'cause I'm smarter than that, but I feel the whole thing is bullshit. No, I KNOW it's bullshit.

What pisses me off more than the Paula Deen thing is all the Prilosec and Prevacid ads that act like that's the bandaid for the situation. The treatment isn't medicine, the treatment is not eating so much crap that upsets your stomach. Don't down a burrito doused in hot sauce vs. doing that and then taking a medicine to block the proton pumps in your stomach from doing their naturally intended job!

Hell they've got Larry the Fuckin' Cable Guy practically saying "Hey guys, be cool and eat like a fat slob and take a med to cover the painful cries of your digestive system like I do!"

I think I paid more attention to this than a lot of people 'cause my wife is an engineer with Abbott, a company that works to treat diabetes by responsible diet and exercise management vs. taking a pill and eating Krispy Kremes.

I have absolutely no idea who paula deen is (now with a look to the right YT suggests a few videos.. ugh), but watching you kinda rant and listening to it, is worth 4:31 of my time. Definitely! Luv ya. Kind of :D
Aaaand you can touch me as often as you want if you ever come to germany.

Medical statuses, are just that...medical issues. Not anyone's business. TOTALLY AGREE! Grow up people and make your own decisions. Best line ever: "If you are someone who is upset and feels deceived because Paula Deen didn't tell you that eating a pound of butter a day was a bad idea...you're a fucking idiot."
