The real danger is people like you who don't know how to eat in moderation or when to say, "that's enough".

I have always been very afraid of aging, you know, becoming old and useless and unattractive. When I turned 50, I decided to do something about it. I've spent fortunes on face creams and anti-aging serums… but using GenFX is the first time I've tried turning back the clock from the inside out. It's also the last time I'll spend a fortune on face creams! Now everyone says I look 35! http://www.antiaginggenfx.com/

You tell her Herb! THAT is the precise problem!
I recently moved out of a situation where the person was a literal food addict (Yes, there really ARE people like that!). You couldn't have the simplest conversation without food, food, FOOD being at the top of the list of subjects. How much, when, where, on and on till you want to scream! AND, eating all of the time...AND food that is SUPPOSED to be good for you! BUT, when you can't go half an hour without eating something, anything, no matter what it is, you are going to pack on the pounds!
And NO ONE is forcing you to eat Ms. Deen's cooking, so shut up!

Scandal with Michelle Obama! http://tr.im/typU

nobody forces you to eat it

your stupid......I cook the same food for my kids and there fine. they also go outside to play they dont sit on their fat asses and do nothing but vedio game GROW UP STOP BLAMING OTHER PEOPLE FOR YOUR FAT ASSEDNESS AND LAZINESS. 85% of americans are fat because they sit on their fat ass all day and watch tv or play games. they never get exercise or even go for a walk. GET A CLUE.

Have you ever seen Paula Deen cook?

you are so right.she was the picture of class,now she like a struggling lady of the night.time to hang em up barb.


witch

Every man that has used a tool made in China knows that their metals are not safe. Paula's dishes a junky made in China also. Being sold in Macys doesn't make them better, just makes Macys look bad.

Right on, Bob. I started to buy a piece of Paula Deen cookware in Wal Mart, and turned it over to see if it was made in the USA. NO. So, I put it back. When I got home i looked online to find cast iron cookware, and there are some manufacturers left in the US (a miracle). I couldn't find an address to write Ms. Deen directly to let her know what I think about that, so I wrote to the magazine instead. I told them since she wants to enrich the Chinese workers, let them buy her cookware!
Plus, remember all the poison pet food and lead laden childrens toys from China. No CONSCIENTIOUS person would take their product to china to get it made. I won't buy Paula's cookware Y'all.

Says the man, that just type with keyboard made in Japan, harddrive made in India, processors from Taiwan, and put together in Mexico. Let's stop being hypocritical.

YES YES YES I agree

I agree that moderation is the key. Paula's books for kids are fun and there is nothing wrong with the recipes. I believe in healthy eating for children, however, this world is too obsessed with skinny. So let's not give our kids more identity problems. Besides, who among all the respondents here does not have a wonderful memory of Mom, grandma or favorite aunt making something yummy when you were a child. Cookies, cake, etc. And did it make everyone of you fat?
As to the cookware, I am disappointed that the items are made in China and not in the United States. I for one would not buy them just for that reason. My family has been a a small crusade lately to purchase only American made products and to reject items made in foreign countries. This includes food as well as other products. We need to get our workers back to work and quit outsourcing to other countries for cheaper labor.

Barbara Walters has wrinkles? How dare she! You do realize that she's 80 right?

And the comment about Deen's childrens cookbook has nothing to do with the self control of adults. Study after study has shown that children that grow up eating crappy food have higher rates of obesity and illness, perform less well in school and are actually more violent. These eating habits are very happy to break as an adult. We should be looking towards parents for most of this responsibility but Deen probably shouldn't be selling things like her doughnut burger to kids.

Which part of NO! were you unsuccessful in being able to teach the parent of your grandchild? Also, I never got the patronizing and coddling mentality that makes a person want to control the behavior of the all the other "poor, stupid people" that just aren't smart enough to control themselves "like you can." Your "ought to be a law" mentality is the root cause of another even more horrible malady, even more horrible than high fat foods. It's known as liberalism!!!!
