I love his show, but seriously, he's always half in the bag. I believe he quit smoking after his daughter was born, but we have years of episodes with him with a drink in one hand, smoke in the other, and admissions that he spent a good chunk of his life with powder up his nose. And some of the stuff he eats isn't so healthy either. I distinctly remember him on a Prague episode, staggering out of some bar to eat what was basically a thick slab of melted cheese on bread with a huge glob of mayo.

That being said, I too think that the whole hiding your diabetes til you got an endorsement deal situation is skeevy.

But Paula has always claimed that her fat laden recipes were for special occasions and not for everyday consumption. I've made her recipes before, and will do so again. They're indulgences. It's not Paula's problem if people can't figure that out on their own.
