I have written about Paula Dean, her butter fixation, and her two sons in the food business before, but this time I am going to take a different approach with all of the recent Media coverage of her embarrassing interviews and despicable display of prejudice and discrimination.
Paula Dean is a southern girl, born and raised, with many of the cultural belief systems that have notoriously been discriminatory of blacks and other races. The hidden and blatant discrimination is exhibited in her family’s restaurant employment practices, in her choices of guests on her previous Food Network episodes, and in the way she pretends not to be a racist woman from the South with stories that dismiss the events that showed her true colors.
She poured on the fake tears and forced emotion when she was interviewed by Matt Lauer yesterday. She had the opportunity to describe and explain the exact circumstances and the specific situations that she needs to answer for when her brother, Bubba, behaved in a manner with their black employees at the restaurant in ways that are undeniably discriminatory against African Americans. She is dancing around the truth of the matter with stories of her childhood and examples of her behavior that don’t quite reflect her nature when it comes to interacting with Blacks or African Americans – you choose the term that you most identify with for people of color. Paula Dean has not only used the derogatory N word with employees and others, but shows discrimination in many ways. This is not an isolated incident. She is a liability to companies who want her to endorse their products.
This incident was not the first and I have observed on many occasions when she appeared on the Food Network that she is indeed a person who has prejudice in her blood and brain. She may not even be consciously aware of her feelings that we would classify as discrimination. More than anything, she is in denial. She was in denial when choosing not to disclose her medical condition of Diabetes while hawking food that is a causal factor in degenerative diseases with her Southern cooking style. Her fried lies don’t appeal to my appetite for honesty and integrity. She fries chicken and bake buttery pies, blends refined sugar with fruit and filling while betraying her body’s health for the sake of celebrity for cooking food that people must learn is detrimental to their health.
This is a double-edged sword which has returned to haunt her as she attempts to get out of her recent debacle with tears and Christian threats of casting stones. She is no Messiah figure who is pure white enough to question the right of reporters and employees to call a ‘spade a spade’. Is that analogy black enough for you? Is that reference white enough for you? OK, now that we got that out of the way. Let’s talk about sincerity. She is spewing insincere tears for the public watching Matt interview her. This is a childish and immature move that might be typical of a girl from the South, but it doesn’t fly with our cultural awareness about discrimination and prejudice in this day and age. Paula – we see through your facade!
I want to publicly commend the Food Network and the companies who have Paula promote their products and brands for withdrawing her contracts and the use of her celebrity for their corporate images and marketing campaigns. I wouldn’t buy anything with Paula’s name on it. I cannot, in good faith, support a person who promotes unhealthy food preparation methods and the consumption of foods that lead to Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity, and other degenerative diseases. She is a walking nightmare of disinformation.
If you have to threaten your child with physical abuse of spanking to control their behavior, you know the parents and the child have a real problem. The internal attitude and belief system has to be monitored and regulated to control the behavior of a person who has grown up with prejudice and cultural attitudes about race, religion, and gender. It doesn’t come naturally for Paula Dean to be an ‘equal opportunity’ employer or hostess. She has tried to force sympathy for a single mom raising two sons, too. She has a bias of gender to add to the List. I have seen the way she treats different people when they are guests on her show. I am glad that I won’t have to waste a half hour of Food Network programming to wait for a better chef and hostess. I am glad to see all of the meager attempts to justify butter, refined sugar, and lard in her recipes. Even though she tries to support her son in switching her recipes to be healthier with better ingredients, she fails to realize that we have all been educated beyond those fried lies. Paula – good bye and good riddance!
The elderly and incapacitated idiot who over-heated his socks in the microwave and then left them on too long without monitoring his body’s response is actually filing a lawsuit against Dr. Oz. I would imagine that the judge would simply throw the case out of court as a frivolous lawsuit – it is.
When you cannot sleep at night, you will try anything to get to sleep. While heating uncooked rice in a microwave is not the strangest method for warming the feet in a hot sock, it is one way to accomplish the task at hand. The application of warmth for a short period of time is soothing, it is a viable solution when performed correctly.
Booties have been designed to be heated and retain that heat at stable and reasonable temperatures to offer relief by improving circulation and relaxing the muscles to quiet the body in order to fall asleep more easily. While I would not personally let the heated medium, in this case, uncooked rice, to be put directly on the skin; if the rice were to be contained in a bootie or specially-designed sock to give a layer of protective fabric between the hot rice and the skin – then it would be effective and safe.
When you are stupid enough to forget to check the temperature with your hands before you apply the sock to your feet – it begs the question, “Should you be treating yourself when you are cognitively-impaired?”
The obvious answer is, “NO”!
This old fart should have known better! If the bath or shower water is too hot for comfort and you foolishly step into the scalding water and burn yourself, are you going to file suit against the plumber or construction company for installing hot water in the bathroom? No…
This dummy’s legal issue is ridiculous and insufficient to proceed on the basis of merit by a long shot. But that won’t stop the hungry shark lawyers from trying and wasting time and money when holistic means will work when properly utilized by professionals or intelligent men in their 70s.
In the future, Dr. Oz would be smart to suggest reliable brand names of booties designed specifically for this purpose. He needs to realize that there are idiots who will do things the wrong way and blame him instead of taking personal responsibility for their actions. We can issue a ‘warning’ to all the old geezers out there with insomnia, before you try to put the heat on Dr. Oz, try putting your hands on the hot booties to ‘feel the heat’ and decide if it’s too hot or not for prime time on the footsies!
There’s nothing quite like a little common sense to prevent burns or other signs that idiots were not paying close attention to basic principles of temperature and time. Twenty minutes is not half the night! One minute in the microwave is not the same as five minutes when heating uncooked rice without enough water. Two minutes of cognitive analysis is better than ten seconds of mindless maneuvers!
Furthermore, try soaking your feet for twenty minutes in the bathtub before crawling in bed at night. Drink a cup of chamomile tea, apply a few drops of Lavender or other Essential Oils to your temples and wrists, take a little melatonin, put on a sleep mask, apply a few Restful Sleep Holographic Chips to your PJs, and turn off the lights and TV. You’ll go to sleep and insomnia will be a thing of the past.
Of, course, you know that the acids in the stomach make it difficult to get the full benefit of the B12 supplements you take, expecting to get what you pay for… But then, here comes a brand new method for delivering the nutrients to the bloodstream directly without wasting any amount going through the digestive system.
This is MicroLinqual B12 and here’s a video showing how it works:
Don’t be an idiot and waste your money with pills or tablets when this little slip of a supplement will do the trick!
You can feel the difference when you actually get DELIVERY to the cells of the nervous system and the rest of the body using this method to introduce the nutrients right into the blood from the oral cavity – yes, that’s the mouth.
This video presentation by TriVita who makes the Nopalea from the Nopal cactus illustrates the importance of nutritional support from Vitamins C and D for Skin Health.
The presence of these nutrients indicates that the body’s ability for producing Collagen is intertwined with continuous access to bio-available vitamins and minerals. If any vitamin or mineral is missing or in short supply; the production of Collagen is diminished or compromised. It is essential for each of us to provide nutrients from our foods and supplements to facilitate Collagen production and to maintain the integrity of our skin’s structural components.
Skin Health Video Presentation from TriVita
Nopalea and other TriVita products are one good source of vitamins. But I want to bring your attention to another source for Vitamins C and D along with the components of liquid BioCell Collagen, chondroitin sulphate, and hyaluronic acid. This matrix rehydrates and replenishes the skin while ensuring that the Collagen is made available for structural integrity.
Jusuru Life Blend and Soft Chews can be combined with any other nutritional supplement for our care of our skin and connective tissue. The fruit extracts that flavor the Life Blend and the Soft Chews also supply vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin C.
The winter weather takes a toll on our skin and it is wise to give daily nutritional support to our bodies to ensure that our skin and the internal systems are fully nourished from our food rich in phytochemicals from Dark Leafy Greens and vegetables that are still in season at this time of year. Fruit is out of season in most cases and the fruit extracts in Jusuru products replaces fresh organic produce during the winter months.
Contract Law is going to be that which protects the Rights of the Sovereign individual prior to and following the time in 2014 when the Federal regulations governing Obamacare go into effect for insurance ‘on demand’. People have until the first of the year 2014 to understand it all and make arrangements that suit their individual needs.
I won’t pretend to comprehend all of the coming changes in the Health Care system under the new Administration. Obama and others have worked diligently to reform the system, including insurance coverage and the provision of health care services over the course of several years to be able to pay for the rising costs of the nation’s medical system and the aging population.
While it may be seemingly beneficial for many who have had to suffer debt and insolvency when major health issues or a crisis made a dent in their financial affairs; it may also appear to be a drain on the monetary budgets of individuals, families, and companies who are experiencing difficulty in meeting the expenses when it is only for basic insurance purposes.
Imagine that for some people, just paying for the coverage of insurance without actual expenses for services rendered being exorbitant and not affordable on a monthly basis. In the article, an example of $410 a month for a family of four was used to illustrate a potential policy expense as companies begin to offer plans to the public in the near future.
I can think of a lot of things that this $410 would purchase that would pay for preventive measures, so that actual health care services would not be needed by members of a family earning this amount annually. They do not have the extra expendable income to pay this much for insurance – or penalties for not having coverage.
So instead of debating it any further, it is high time to reclaim one’s sovereignty. A Sovereign individual is not subject to the laws under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government and will not be forced to pay for unnecessary or undesired insurance. Nor will the Sovereign be entitled to Federal programs. When you are free, you are free and you are responsible for paying for your own health care.
The vaccine for the flu cannot be proven to be safe, nor can it be proven to not be safe – in all situations and for all people. The risk factor is extremely high.
There are thousands of similar stories of young people and adults developing complications after taking a flu shot, especially those with endotoxins hidden in the vaccine…not really disclosed on the label…so to speak – or in this case – to read.
Many – far too many – are crippled, paralyzed, unable to enjoy their previous mobility and the only thing that changed was that they took a flu shot or a vaccination. Suddenly, their lives are changed and the medical community doesn’t want to take responsibility for it. They are reluctant to accept the blame that the shot did the damage, not genetic predisposition or any other redirection from the actual cause for the severe reaction – the flu shot or the vaccination.
Look…the only real way to prevent disease is to have an Immune System that is intact and functioning perfectly. You can use many effective and inexpensive products and actions to strengthen and maintain a healthy Immune System.
Just say “YES” to prevention and a healthy Lifestyle!
We’re not going to get into a big debate about all the little, yet significant aspects that need to be taken into consideration. What we want to point out today is that it is NOT worth the risk to take the flu shot, especially if you have any genetic predispositions to neurological or immune system diseases. In fact, if you have any weakness or deficiency at all, it is not advisable to take a shot with substances that may compromise your system further.
To err on the side of safety and rationality is preferable!
I would rather take nutritional supplements, herbal formulas, use EOs, take any number of precautions in Lifestyle choices, and consume whole foods to strengthen the immune system and the function of the body’s ability to fight off any pathogen than risk endangering the human body with substrates in any vaccine.

The idea that the stress of the tsunami alone caused the increase in seizures in Japan is interesting, but the toxic materials in the debris is the most likely candidate as the factor that would be responsible for such a change in the local residents.
Article about Stress and Seizures in Japan in the Wake of the Tsunami
I meant to use the word, ‘wake’ in the phrase above! The waves that swept across the landscape, through the cities, between every nook and corner of Japanese real estate washed every kind of chemical, liquid, and all sorts of materials into a mixture that laid waste to every surface, including the lining of the lungs of many people who were in the middle of it all.
Environmental exposure to damaging chemicals could cause an increase in seizures. I would expect researchers to find this to be the culprit…concentrations of toxic materials can trigger neurological reactions easily.
Before doing anything else, Liquid Zeolite could be used to reverse or eliminate the incidents in this population in Japan. It’s far less expensive and much more rapid than other protocols.
Be prepared to see continuing imbalances in Japanese people who were traumatized by the tsunami and the earthquake.
It may no longer come as a surprise to you, but to so many Americans who are leading frenzied lives; the appeal of Fast Food draws them to the drive-through and the counters of countless chains that deliver quick, but boring brown meals in no time at all.
Fast Food is one of the most dangerous habits in our fast-paced world and leads just as quickly to disease, discomfort, and distended bellies in the people who settle for food that fills them up and leaves nutrition behind.
People suffer as a result of stopping at the Fast Food places to grab a quick bite when they could have planned a healthy meal at home or at the office. They are often too busy to think ahead and it makes the Fast Food an easy choice while they rush here and there and back again.
Have you ever noticed how many Fast Food items are brown and bland? Burgers and buns, french fries and cobbler desserts, burritos and nuggets are all that cardboard brown that is barely appetizing? Brown is boring and bound to constipate you, cause abdominal distress, and elevate your blood pressure which is NOT boring when you are in pain and discomfort! Food needs to be your friend, not your foe. Find the friendship in food of color and flavor!
It’s not easy, but it is smart to take a few minutes while you are on the way to the grocery store to plan a week’s snacks and meals in advance and allow for extra substitutes for the Fast Food items that are the problem. Planning and preparing ahead gives you a good reason to resist the urge and temptation to stop for convenience and hunger between other destinations. The grocery store can be your best new friend in the fight against obesity, digestive distress, and a hectic life filled with bad decisions!
The color of healthy foods are going to compel you to desire them more than the old boring brown fast food items. But you have to know where to find them, shop for them, and have them on hand at home, in the car, and at work wherever you go and whenever you are hungry.
Here’s one of our favorite colorful and vibrant vegan and vegetarian websites that will spoil you the right way with delicious foods that look great and invite you to eat the healthy way.
The vibrant colors of the rainbow with bold ripe red tomato, the pizazz of purple cabbage and eggplant, the blazing orange of carrots and squash, the brilliant blues of berries, the yellows and greens of bell peppers, and all the rest of the dazzling array of fresh fruits and vegetables plus Greens will bring color and health to Life!
