A Bone to Pick with the Lovely Paula Deen

Not really sure what to make of the latest news on Paula Deen. Love her spirit and work ethic.  She once told Oprah that one of the keys to her success was that she "put in the work and God blessed it."  Words to live by. 
However, her recent revelation of her diabetes diagnosis troubles me.  First, she continued her long-term love affair with butter 2-3 years after being diagnosed, which is worrisome.  Then, she became a spokesperson for a company that manufactures diabetes medication, but made no mention of an exercise regimen to help her manage her disease, which just seems irresponsible.  Guess she's found a way to make money off her condition, but I think she missed an opportunity to promote a natural way to tackle diabetes.  Just my two cents.
