Compassion for Paula

In light of Paula Deen's now public Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis (job security!), I thought this article should resurface to develop compassion and deeper understanding of what many people struggle with. Weight loss and management is something a lot of people really focus on; they're not adding entire sticks of butter to their meals and they exercise only to see those few extra pounds stubbornly run all of those miles or attend all of those spinning classes with them. So, while we're all thinking, "I told you so" about this recent peak into Ms. Deen's health status, let's ...try not to. Just like digging into the pint of Ben and Jerry's won't solve any problems, neither will pointing fingers at the chef making delicious, albeit buttery and fattening, foods.
