Paula Deen and Her Monkey Bread Are Killing You
Watching the Food Network used to be fun for me.
I would come home from a stressful day and watch Giada and her pretty self chop some amazingly colorful veggies, Bobby Flay grill nothing short of delicious and lose myself in Nigella Lawson's witty banter. But those days are gone. Not only has the food network hired a bunch of bozos and created a sleeve of clowns, it's now killing people, one recipe at a time.
Yep, you heard right. Paula Deen's 10 cheese macaroni and cheese with a side of butter isn't good for you. Shocking, I know.
A team of dietary experts in London found that almost all of the celeb cookbooks contained recipes with more than 100% of the recommended daily amount of saturated fat. More surprising? The Fat Panel, an independent group of nutrition experts, reported that only a handful of peeps realized that eating meals, such as Tyler Florence's Mac and Cheese with Bacon, on a regular basis was bad for their health.
"We are not being the nutrition police here or killjoys, but there are some things that are pure indulgence and should be left as such, to be enjoyed as an occasional treat in all their fat, sugar and calorie-laden glory, " said Sian Porter, a registered dietician on The Fat Panel.
All I have to say is... Actually I don’t know what to say to people who eat globs of artery clogging fats and expect to be healthy. Maybe, "Good luck?"
