Maybe you all should use your God given common sense then. Are you all saying you never have one rich food, dessert? Ever? Whatever. I don’t see Paula saying eat this 24/7. Common sense people. Get real. It’s not what you eat but how much you eat. I think you all need some intense therapy. Let the woman lick her damn fingers if she wants. Get over yourselves. Good to see you all had the surgery and all but each person has to get there on their own road. Did you want people ramming speeches down your throat prior? Doubtful. Ok stepping off my soapbox. High and mighty people just get under my skin.

Paula rocks. She is the epitome of a true southerner- full of love, welcomes anyone, and creates food with love. Turn the channel if you can’t take it.

I saw her pic on woman’s world mag at the store and thought of that disguise Arnold Schwarzenegger used in total recall

Being a southerner, I know all these dishes she prepares very well… But not all southerners “eat” this way every day. Her notoriety, silly antics, and over the top attitude is for the media circuit and the media encourges it… It has made her a multi-millionare so who wouldn’t. I know I would get up in front of a camera and eat fried macaroni for a few hundred thou. On a human level, away from the camera, her personality is genuine and she does a lot of charity work and contributes quite a lot of her time and money to the education of boys and girls and the homeless. So to say she is an embarrassment to our country, I think you should do your homework. Look at her resume’. I think she is a credit to those who believe could represent us better. The proof is on paper, friends. But I fear, most people had rather criticise because putting others down makes them feel better about themselves. And her success is through hard work and determination. It wasn’t handed to her via inheritance and she didn’t obtain it illegally. I encourage people to investigate the truth about people before passing severe judgement. Truthfully, if her shows make you ill, at this day and age, change the channel.

The cheesecake sounds almost as disgusting as the burger she topped with bacon and a fried egg, then sandwiched between 2 glazed doungnuts. Of course she licked her finger just before handing it to her friend to taste.

i love paula’s personality and her food looks good. she is by no means the new age, whole wheat, olive oil, low-fat, dont eat carbs chef. she makes real food, the food you want to eat when you splurge. sure her recipes aren’t meant for everyday consumption, but whole fat, southern cooking has it’s place in the culinary world as well

Enjoyed reading this – sums up nicely how I feel about Paula… I saw the show once. She made a ridonkulously over the top lasagna, and a garlic bread recipe which was one baguette with *two* sticks of butter and assorted cheeses, etc. She then proceeded to make a “lasagna sandwich” by placing a ginormous slab of lasagna on the loaf garlic bread. And then she and her co-host each took half and began chowing down… Gah! It made my stomach cramp to watch it, yet I could not make myself turn the show off….

Honestly. American big business sure has all Americans afraid of food. That is, normal food. Natural fat. Meat. Vegetables and whole dairy. That’s what our grandparents and great grandparents lived on, and they lived a long time too. Cancer and heart disease were almost unknown before World War I. And everyone has bought into the idea that saturated fats are the devil, never noticing that it’s the margarine and Crisco industries paying for those studies that “happen” to “prove” that.

Wake up people. People in the South have been deep frying for ages. Julia Child’s favorite ingredient was butter. And she lived to be 92.

Fat does not clog your arteries — unless it’s transfats. Being fat is not unhealthy. Don’t swallow what the media tells you about food — they just don’t want you doing any home cooking like your grandma did, they want you buying products the big corporations are trying to sell you. Follow the money.

Her recipes scare me. I like to watch her show while I’m chugging away on the elliptical machine thinking how glad I am that I don’t eat that food. Same for Barefoot Contessa.
