    The Food Fight Rages On!

    The Food Fight Rages On!

    Last August, Anthony Bourdain called out Paula Deen as "the worst, most dangerous person to America" because "she revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is f***ing bad for you."

    So when the Queen of Butter revealed she has type 2 diabetes, everyone waited with baited breath to find out how Bourdain would react.

    Would he be apologetic? Would he be elated that his condemnation held water? Would he be silent?

    Well, anyone who knows the controversial chef knows that the latter wouldn't be true, but even I am surprised to see that his response was so antagonistic.

    "Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later," he Tweeted.

    Guess there is no end in sight to this food fight.

      So, why is it that my rail thin vegetarian cousin has type 2 diabetes? She wouldn't eat a fried or fatty anything, on a bet! Nobody in her family has it either and they eat REAL food.

      anthony is a pompass buthead and very argogant..I love paula and sorry people I have a question for all you vegitarians..where are your eyes...they are in the from of your head..we are predators not herd animals..we are supposed to hunt and eat both meat and plants that is why we have six feet of intestine to process our food. Everything in moderation.

        Paula has a problem here - she's lying about preaching "moderation" and is profoundly hypocritical in her new stance as spokesperson for diabetes. She's just off and is deserving of criticism. Hope it moves her along to a new approach, because she is highly likeable.

        Thats also the beauty of being human, we have the conscience thought to choose what we eat. I eat meat but it doesn't mean I am "supposed to". We have come a long way since "Lucy".

        My vegetarian friends are perfectly happy and healthy as such. The oversimplification of your statement is misleading.

      I really like AB, but he's really NO ONE TO TALK, with all the unapolgetic boozing, smoking, and gluttonous feasting he does on trips. His arteries have to be as bad as Paula's at this point. She may be pounding sticks of butter, but he's pounding hard drinks and fat left and right. I do like his drawing attention to her, but it's a quite hypocritical. On his shows, seems like he's setting a new standard for how cool people "should" have a good time. If I drank a quarter of what he does, I'd be fried, and I used to drink heavy. Just sayin', y'all!

      Bourdain is a right-on, honest person who is keenly aware that is it an embarrassment to be amongst the "celebs" of this planet. Rock on Anthony and keep telling it like it is!

        Yeah, Paula's lying about moderation and hypocrisy with her new opportunity here is insulting and annoying. Glad AB has been jumping on it.

      where is Rachael Ray? Her food is no better than 'ol meat and potatoes Paula Deen.
      • A Yahoo! User 4 months ago
        I agree. At least Paula's food dishes make sense.

      It's not what you eat, it is how much you eat of a bad thing. Paula food is the best. Diabetes is also inherited. So whose
      to say her food alone did it? We all need to eat at least some of her food, for our bodies sake. Agree or disagree, I really don't care.

        It's not so much her food but PERSONALITY. She is lying about moderation and now trying to sell herself as a hypocritical spokewoman. It's insulting and annoying.

      This probally has nothing to do with the article but if its not organic forget it... and be sure to read the labels and use wiki for the ingredients your not absolutely 100 percent sure about. I was gonna order B12 supplements but found out there 2 version synthetic which is fake and harms the body and organic... use the wiki on B12 to see for yourself.... trust no one read research the labels.. Just like on the back of a toothpaste tube swallow a eraser size amount of toothpaste and your suppose to call a poison control center immediately!!!! Sodium Fluoride... 2 types of fluoride Sodium Fluoride fake harms body bones and teeth... Organic Calcium Fluoride which is natural and helps bones teeth... read read read and believe no one including myself... Check for yourself.

      and for real news I farted and it smells like roses..
