Paula Deen vs. Anthony Bourdain..!!

http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/thefamous/fight-fight-paula-deen-tells-anthony-bourdain-to-get-a-life/1912

<snip>
Bourdain, acerbic host of The Travel Channel's "No Reservations," launched the first grenade at the delightful Deen, who is perhaps the best-liked chef on TV. Sniped Bourdain to TV Guide: "(She is) the worst, most dangerous person to America. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations, and she's proud of the fact that her food is f---ing bad for you. I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it is OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks."
<end>

well said Tony..!!

Deen's not going down without a fight. The mayonnaise-loving, down-home cooking Georgia peach responded with an angry statement to Page Six, telling the column: "Anthony Bourdain needs to get a life. You don't have to like my food, or Rachael's, Sandra's and Guy's. But it's another thing to attack our character. I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. It's not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks."
<end>

Paula Deen is a real sweetheart and a true believer, IMO..

<snip>
Bourdain raises tough, provocative questions: is Paula Deen contributing to America's obesity epidemic? Should we hold her accountable, given her tremendous influence among those who worship her mouthwatering recipes of fatty, fried foods? (Michelle Obama, who's campaigning hard to reverse childhood obesity, would likely that welcome such a conversation.)
<end>

This is a conversation that should be front and center, IMO... too bad the MSM will dominate and trivialize the main points Bourdain was trying to make... and too bad Tony had to be so blunt....

1. I prefer Anthony's personality

because Paula's is as sticky-sweet as her cooking. He never fails to crack me up. However, as much as I love Anthony, he's not exactly the poster child for healthy living, what with the smoking and drinking. I, by the way, smoke, drink on occasion, and adore fattening foods.
