"[Paula Deen’s diabetes revelation] is mirrored by many smaller, less calculated, more innocent ones in the world of food celebrities and food celebrators, including those of us who have written orgiastic accounts of sumptuous dinners. Deen’s revelation jolted me in part because people in the business of peddling gastronomic bliss rarely draw such a bold connection between indulgence and its possible wages."

Paula Deen’s Revelation - NYTimes.com

There have been a ton of articles heaping scorn on Paula Deen. This one goes a step further and looks at how our current climate of food television and celebrity overall enables unhealthy eating and de-emphasizes exercise, moderation, and fasting. Fascinating and helpful.
