Gotta love that Paula Deen.
I fell in love with her the first time I went to her buffet just outside New Albany, Indiana.
News came out today that she was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes three years ago.
On the Today show, she spoke a word very much at the heart of the Benedictine philosophy--and the wider Church's teaching: moderation.
All things in moderation, as the saying goes.
Many think she is responsible for fattening a good number of people and giving them health complications such as the one she now has.
Au contraire, she says. People need to be responsible for themselves.
"It's like I told Oprah a few years back. I'm your cook, not your doctor. You've got to be responsible for yourself."
Thanks Paula. It's a lesson we'd all do well to contemplate, maybe even while having a piece of pie.
