Paula Deen – Popular Chef Admits to having Type 2 Diabetes
Should Endorsing Unhealthy Foods be Controlled?
There have been rumors flying around for the past few years that Paula Deen, the lovely Southern cookin’ chef who was made famous for her sweet and bubbly personality, had diabetes. Not until late was that news confirmed by the cook herself, “I wanted to wait until I had something to bring to the table,” referring to her new endorsement deal with Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceutical company that makes Victoza, a non-insulin injectable diabetes medication.
The Type 2 diabetes sufferer was diagnosed 3 years ago, while although very unfortunate news, didn’t come to a surprise to some viewers, even to some of her colleagues. For those who are unaware, Paula Deen is famed for her excessive use of rich and sweet ingredients, concocting mounds of mayonnaise together with cream cheese, or one of her well-known desserts, the Ultimate Fantasy Deep-Fried Cheesecake.
“I’ve always preached moderation. I don’t blame myself,” states the loveable Queen of Southern cuisine. Some beg to differ, sharing their opinions on the issue, explaining that it doesn’t help her well-being or her viewers by paying no attention or laying no emphasis on having healthier ingredients and meals, as shown through her extravagant love for food.
Being amongst one of the country’s most popular chefs, her influence and star power should be much more controlled, many people claim. The promotion of eating healthier should be of importance, especially with the rise of obesity in the United States.
All of this should put people on alert that being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes is quite serious and that it can happen to anyone, even to celebrities like Paula Deen.
