The Official K Chronicles and (Th)ink Website
Humorous comics, often with political overtones. The official K Chronicles and (th)ink website by cartoonist Keith Knight!
Paula Deen once said “I’m your cook, not your doctor.” For that reason alone I am inclined to dismiss any outrage about her outrageously unhealthy recipes because she never tried to sell it as anything but bad for you but so, so gooood (if you’re into that sort of thing).
The issue I have with her is the endorsement to the Smithfield ham company. That company has some of the worse working conditions for it’s employees plus their hire/fire practices are awful. (See the documentary Food Inc.)
How she could endorse such a**holes is beyond me. Oh wait, they threw a sack of money at her.
Calling it “food porn” isn’t new as I’ve previously heard comedians refer to the actual Food Network as porn for fat people, but I often watch the programs on it like I would watch an “adult” program only where I have my hands over my mouth other than other parts (not to let the pious smirk on this, but try not to watch a “Diners, Drives etc” w/o being in that position).
And as you get older it also becomes a ” I mighta tried that in my twenties but not now” with sex just like food (would do a “hoist-carry-and-bang” then just like I would have done a “KFC double down”, but not now).
Reminds me of the old Russian saying, “Kashu s maslom ne isportish.” (“You won’t ruin the porridge with more butter.”) If my food kills me, at least I’ll go happy. (:3
