Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 5: Butter, Mayo, Whiz Cheese Spread
My favorite Paula Dean quote and she uses it often as she presents her potato soup riddled with cream and festooned with bacon crumbles and shredded cheddar cheese and winks, "Today's not a day for cutting back!"

About: Food loving registered dietitian who writes about food, nutrition and
cuisine. I'm on Food Network as "Lady of the Refrigerator" on Good Eats. I was on CNN for 20 years covering everything from pate to pesticides as anchor and exec producer.
Favorite foods: Anything but Indian food or food with eyeballs.
Last bite on earth: stone crab claws with fresh meyer lemons.
Iceberg lettuce may not contain all of the antioxidant rich plant nutrients
found in deep green leafy salad choices such as spinach and arugula; but it gets this dietitian's approval because it's so high in water content and helps to fill you up without filling you out. It even helps hydrate your body just like water in a glass. OK OK..the blue cheese dressing is a splurge but don't think that eating iceberg is a waste of time. As far as dining wedge-iquette goes- yes you do use a knife and fork to cut the lettuce into bite size pieces. And please don't cut it all up at once creating a messy pile of chopped lettuce. Maintain the art of the wedge.
