Paula Deen and her Cuisine

Paula Deen, the Queen of Southern Cuisine as she has been dubbed, has recently been put under scrutiny for the unhealthy lifestyle she is supposedly promoting through her food. What the media and nutritionist fail to see is that her style of cooking will not result in significant health problems if one is to eat her style of cuisine, as she says, “in moderation.” There is evidence to show that not everything she makes is stepped in saturated fat and she herself practices moderation. Plus, there are plenty of other dishes outside of the deep-fried Southern realm that are unhealthy.
Deen has stated herself that one should not eat meals such as fried chicken or short ribs every day of the week because it is unhealthy. Rather, it “must be done in moderation” just like an athlete must monitor how rigorous he or she exercises to not cause injury to his or her bodies. One of the episodes of her cooking show showcased salads such as a Chicken and Orzo pasta salad that substituted vegetable oil with the much healthier olive oil. There was an article published recently that said the Italian favorite Chicken Parmigiana is one of the most fattening restaurant dishes one can order from a restaurant menu.
