First, why are ANY of you whiners even on this site? Go to some other place if you don't like this kind of food, rather than attacking Paula in such a ridiculous, juvenile manner. Seriously, you need to get over yourselves and get a life. You're all stupid if you think that Paula assumes that you're going to be dumb enough to eat this on a regular basis. Hey--any of you out there ever heard the word MODERATION? Or do you not get the concept? This is a fantastic dish to make once in a while as a TREAT--I'm certain Paula's not intending for this to be eaten as daily fare. If you HAVEN'T been smart enough to get that, then you need to get off of this site and go sign up on Jenny Craig's list, who's recipes I'm sure will be much more to your liking.

We don't watch Paula expecting her to serve up "rabbit food", i.e. salad, tofu, bean sprouts, etc.. She's not your Weight-Watcher buddy or "bulimia sponsor" that you call at 3 a.m. when you're having a weak moment & want to consume half of the contents of your refrigerator because you had a bad day. We watch her 'cause she's fun, lovable & has some GREAT recipe ideas that we KNOW are probably not going to thrill your cardiologist, but, seriously, unless you're planning to devote your entire life to making all of her creations a part of your daily menu, are just fine for an occasional treat. As for those of us who appreciate good recipes, Paula Deen is a WONDERFUL lady and NOT the anti-Christ. It's okay to eat this kind of stuff occasionaly. GROW UP.

P.S. Here's a dessert to go along with this for all you food-phobic bulimics/anorexics/whatever: bacon cinnamon rolls. Eat up!
