"Probably the accusation that I was just doing this for financial gain. That's so, so untrue. I could not come out and say "Hey, y'all, I'm type 2 diabetic," and turn around and walk off. I had to have solutions."
-Paula Deen quoted in Prevention Magazine on what hurt her the most about the media frenzy surrounding her diabetes announcement. [Prevention via Eater]
What a crock. Dont believe a word of that. If she really cared about her viewers she would have been open and honest from the start. Hiding your disease while you continue to peddle the unhealthy food that gave you the disease is wrong. Getting yourself a nice paycheck for a dangerous drug only exacerbates your hypocrisy
ReplyDeleteAgreed. She doesn't care about herself or her public
DeleteHer arrogance and inability to adjust her life style to her disorder hurt her most.
ReplyDeleteShe had an opportunity to be a leading voice for good health and blew it.
