Quel rapport avec la choucroute ? In our case, this incongruous French expression can be more appropriately changed from "what does it have to do with sauerkraut?" to "what does it have to do with spam?". Spam, at least, is only making us sick figuratively.
Having little time and curiosity for most TV shows, I must say that I have never seen Paula Deen's show. But what this article by San Francisco Chronicle's Jon Carroll is depicting is appalling. Don't get me wrong, I am a great believer in home-made food, i.e. food involving simple ingredients. Who in their right mind would add high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated fat to a perfectly good home-made cake recipe? Who would even be stocking such ingredients in their kitchen? (OK, you can probably find tubs of hydrogenated fat in a lot of western fridges.)
But if cooking show hosts, the arch-advocates of home-made food, make it their business to make their audience fat so their big pharma friends can boost their sales figures by singing the praises of lard and 2000 calorie meals, we're in very bad shape indeed...
