Paula Deen hid her type 2 diabetes diagnosis from the Food Network for 3 years — and made $30 million for her fattening fare in the interim. 

While keeping the Food Network and her fans in the dark about her diabetes, Deen continued delivering episodes on deep-fried butter balls and other artery-clogging fare as she raked in an estimated $10 million per year via her TV show, cookbooks, endorsements and appearances.

 “I intentionally did it,” Deen admitted to NBC’s Al Roker of hiding the news from fans. “I said, ‘I’m gonna keep this close to my chest for the time being’ because I had to figure out things in my own head.”

OHMYGOD WHO CARES

She didn’t force anyone to eat anything and her image of homey grandmother who will cook things you wouldn’t normally make for yourself still stands.  Her personal health conditions are none of Food Network’s business and she owed all of y’all NOTHING. 

Because type 2 diabetes is the non-genetic one. ” Type 2 diabetes is due to a combination of lifestyle and genetic factors.  While some are under personal control such as diet and obesity others such as age, gender, and genetics are not.” (Wiki) It is reversible in some cases, and is usually caused by a bad diet. She’s basically a hypocrite. No of course no one forced you to cook it, but it’s like a secret heroin addict advocating anti-drug campaigns. 

(just fyi, not starting discussion on being fat. this is about her being a liar)

it’s not at all like being a secret heroin addict. she has an image and a show and she makes food, you don’t see what she actually eats, we don’t have anyone judging other food network chefs who make similar food and it is still none of our business what her personal health conditions are.  I’d agree with you if she had an Adam Richman type Woman vs. Food show and all we saw was her eating mounds and mounds of unhealthy grub, but we don’t, she has a COOKING SHOW we see her COOK food that she often says you should eat only once a year.  She makes a living selling indulgence not an unhealthy lifestyle.

Everyone needs to get over themselves.
