I was born and raised in Louisiana, and I love fried catfish, fried chicken and pecan pie as much as the next Southerner. But I have enough sense not to eat this kind of food every day.
I’m sick and tired of our nation’s victim mentality. If you’re overweight, it’s not McDonald’s fault and it’s not Paula Deen’s — it’s yours! If you don’t like Deen’s show, don’t watch it. If you don’t like the dishes she cooks, don’t eat them.
Deen has never pretended that her recipes were healthy, and I don’t think she owes anyone any answers.
