As a diabetic, should I have a baby?

Posted in Diet and Nutrition by Andrea

This isn’t really a question that I want to ask of the public – I know well just how judgmental the internet can be. I once wrote an article about how baby carrots don’t taste as good as regular carrots, and I received hate mail over it.

Over carrots.

Suffice it to say that people get very riled up over mundane topics. And child-rearing isn’t a mundane topic – just post something on Facebook about circumcision and see how the world responds. So I’m hesitant, really, to openly ask the interwebz such a personal question.

But here goes: I’m diabetic. Should I have a baby? (more…)

Everything You Know About Diabetic Breakfasts Is Wrong

Posted in Diet and Nutrition by Andrea

 

Do a Google search for “diabetic breakfast.” Go ahead, I’ll wait.

There. What did you get in the results? Probably lots of websites published by reliable sources, like WebMD. My guess is that the vast majority of them will encourage you to eat bread, rice, or crackers. Maybe all three. If you are unlucky enough, you might find a website that suggests that you should eat banana pancakes.

I beg of you, as a fellow diabetic, PLEASE do not eat banana pancakes for breakfast. (more…)

Paula Deen is a diabetic?

Rumor has it that Paula Deen is a diabetic. Shocked? Of course you’re not. The woman has been dishing up sugary butter-fried sugar butter for YEARS. In fact, if you told me that she had been definitely not diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic, my jaw might have hit the floor.

C’mon, the woman is a purveyor of the worst kind of cooking. High-starch, high-fat cooking that is as awful for you as it is delicious. Deen’s cooking would have been well-placed 150 years ago, for a farmer or laborer who spent the entire day working outside. Today, it’s laughably out of touch, and the kind of eating that is slowly killing Western society.

Deen has reportedly been keeping her condition under wraps for fear that it would undermine her credibility as a celebrity chef. Well, don’t worry – even if it does, she is rumored to be announcing a diabetes drug endorsement, so it’s not like her corporate whoring will stop anytime soon.
