The private Paula Deen overwhelms the public Paula Deen.

From the Food Network's PAULA'S HOME COOKING web page (still online as of this writing), this description:
"With small-town life as her inspiration, Paula Deen brings uncomplicated and delicious home cooking to a series dedicated to the American traditions. Whether it's her stories or her recipes from her country kitchen, Paula has always had a gift for lifting spirits."

Now, here's most of the comment made by June Pagan on DEADLINE.com's Comments section under the updated article about Paula Deen and loss of endorsements (plus the Random House book deal):
"Discrimination on any level is not to be tolerated let alone endorsed. The Food Network and any business that is ethical should not be supporting any business that treats it’s employees like second class citizens. It is not right for employees to have to endure racial slurs and pornographic material in the workplace. Obviously ,the employees were afraid of losing their jobs. Paula Deen is a Southern cook who hit a stroke of luck by getting picked up by the Food Network. They gave her fame and she should have passed on that opportunity by making sure that all of her and her co-partners in business supported the people that supported them. Making uncomfortable statements, jokes and exposing them to unfair treatment was and is disghusting, low class and unacceptable."

Paula Deen is merely the tip of the Food Network high-fat iceberg.

Yes, it's just like eating a bag full of Lays Potato Chips (either regular or baked) to call Paula Deen out on her mixture of hypocrisy, sanctimoniousness, naked greed and a willingness to split the morality atom by balancing sales of a diabetes drug with maintenance of her popular down-home cooking "brand."

Granted, there's a mitigating factor--Paula's son Bobby now has a healthier version of his mother's schtick on sister station The Cooking Channel: http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/not-my-mamas-meals/index.html

But The Food Network has other programming of the eat-the-high-fat-delicacies-they-taste-so-good genre.

There's frosted-hair good-old-boy Guy Fieri's DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES:

And the upscale-cast-of-food-stars variant of Paula Deen--THE BEST THING I EVER ATE:

At this juncture, I'm guessing The Food Network will do their very best to ride out Paula Deen's Type 2 Diabetes revelation (which some network execs or perhaps Paula's entourage will likely blame on either foodie snobbery or condescension towards Southerners) and do very little to change their winning eat-at-your-own-risk-and-don't-blame-us-if-you-get-sick-and-die formula--which should now be viewed with caution and (excuse the expression) taken with a grain of salt.
