Paula Deen, the celebrity chef queen of butter, sugar and all things deep fried, has taken a lot of criticism on her ‘cooking’ choices after coming out as a diabetic.

No bad deed goes unpromoted, however, and Deen is taking her diagnosis to a new promotional level by teaming up with a drug company.

Lovely. That ‘lemonade’ she’s making out of ‘lemons’ damn well better taste good given it is probably worth thousands of dollars.

Despite everything, including dishes that would send blood sugar through the roof, you have to give her credit for sticking with her passion no matter what.
