So let me get this straight - for years Paula Deen encouraged us to eat food bad for us

4. Yeah, while I have watched her show and kind of liked her personality

I am pissed that this is the way she chose to go. I would be happier if the three year delay in announcing her diabetes had been used to re-work her trademark recipes either for her son's new cooking show or for a new series for herself. She could have been a wonderful force to help people in this country control their diabetes and weight.

But she's sold out to the pharmaceutical companies. Maybe her son will be changing her recipes around to be healthier, but that was not the focus of her announcement last week.

Maybe I will sit down and write letters to Paula Deen and to the Food Network telling them what I think about this. And explaining why I will NOT be watching any show with a Deen family member in it any time soon.
