Rekindling a feud that began last year, Anthony Bourdain responded to Paula Deen’s announcement that she has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and is now a spokesperson for a diabetes medication with a thinly veiled Twittter attack, saying:

“Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.”

This isn’t the first time Bourdain has spoken out against Deen, saying in regards to her notoriously rich and fattening recipes, that Deen is the,

“most dangerous person to America.”

Do you think Paula Deen is a hypocrite for becoming a paid spokesperson for a diabetes drug while sharing her unhealthy recipes? Or do you believe that she’s simply using her celebrity to increase awareness of diabetes? Let us know by commenting here.
