Life as we know it has officially ended. Paula Deen was caught eating a cheeseburger!!

Oh, the hugh manatee!!!

http://gma.yahoo.com/paula-deen-caught-eating-cheeseburger-150609231--abc-news.html

Last week, TV chef Paula Deen announced that she's been suffering from type 2 diabetes for the past three years. She acknowledged that a person has "to make changes in your life" but apparently, Deen hasn't apparently changed all that much. TMZ posted a photo of Deen woolfing (sic) down a cheeseburger on Monday while on a 7-day Caribbean cruise. The 65-year-old chef was hosting her annual Party at Sea vacation for 400 fans. TMZ says Deen also had fries on her plate.

No! Not fries!!!!!

2. Well, she signed on to partner with Novo Nordisk, to promote their injectable diabetes drug.

So she's doing what most people do - continuing with their bad habits and expecting a drug to keep them healthy.

She was diagnosed 3 years ago and didn't change her diet then or since.

3. No, more accurately, she was caught unhinging her lower jaw to eat a cheeseburger before it ate her

Y'know...those people who don't think one reasonable mouthful is enough so they go in for a second bite. I always figured if we were meant to shove that much into our mouths that we would look more like great whites than monkeys.

I can either continue with my eating a burger with no bun and NO FRIES.

Or I can eat like Paula and take the pill she sells.

I guess, for some people, that's a real endorsement of Paula's Pharma partner. They can eat what they want, get fatter and fatter and fatter but the pill keeps the blood sugar within a range that won't turn into sugar spilled into urine?

For most people, every day with diabetes is a struggle. Some of us have the disease despite the fact that we ate correctly, exercised, and were in good health.

Her example doesn't help those who are ignorant about self care with this disease.
