Post-amputation care is expensive, you know.

If she was under contract for a time period to continue making a Fa Tass lard-laden program, well, that part, I can understand. The drug endorsement is more than suspect, however.

Finally, she could have used this as an opportunity in a constructive manner.
(1) Portion control - yes, you can still eat this vat-o-fat from time to time, but this is the portion size that will keep you in check.
(2) Alternative ingredients - Your xxxxx will taste 90% as good as the original, with half the fat, and much lower on the glycemic index (ok, her audience doesn't understand that term) by these few simple substitutions.

"You can continue to eat like a swine and everything will be fine if you take this simple little pill I'm hawking" is all wrong, wrong, wrong.
I think one of her sons has/will soon have a show where the cook healthier versions of her recipes.

And darn near every cook blows up in weight due to what they serve. Yummo is one example, but Tyler Florence really packed on the pounds as well
