Paula Deen a Big Fat Liar

Do we trust the National Enquirer or not?   Hmmmm…..

Paula Deen, America’s favorite chubby chef has been diagnosed with Diabetes!!

Ok, this story originates from the National Enquirer but our sources have verified that it could possibly be true.    (You like that? “Could Possibly Be True”).

In efforts to try and keep her career going she has hid this little tid-bit from the press…..until now!!

This is almost as ironic as Atkins suffering from a heart attack.  Paula has made a living off of teaching people how to cook super unhealthy Southern cuisine.

First off, I have to give Paula her props.  She is definitely an inspiration. Not your typical size 2 TV personality, Paula Deen started off as a caterer in Georgia before expanding into restaurants, cookware, specialty desserts and her own show on the Food Network.

HOW LONG HAS PAULA DEEN KNOWN SHE HAS DIABETES?

How about “several” years.  She is reported to have Type 2 which is directly related to obesity.  How crazy is that??  She has had strict doctor’s orders to steer clear of high fat, high sugar foods.

The very stuff she is telling America to eat!!  That’s like Michael Douglas doing commercials for Newports!

A family friend of Deen’s told the Enquirer:

‘When Paula was diagnosed with diabetes I think she was worried that if her secret got out, it would make her look like a hypocrite.’

You got that right!

It would be much better if she held a Press conference, admitted to the rumors, and then reinvented herself and started cooking healthy foods.  This would be much better than being found out as a liar…too late!  Maybe.

Now we get to see just how good Paula’s camp really is.  Let’s sit back, relax with some Fried Butter Balls, and watch this story unfold.

Paula’s Fried Butter Balls has to be the most unhealthy recipe on the web!
