Introducing Your New Lunch-lady: Paula Deen

by Nicole

Food Network favorite Paula Deen is partnering with Savannah public schools to develop a new culinary arts school. Everything I am reading about this has people wondering if the school board has lost their mind. I don’t get it. This is the greatest idea I have ever heard! Granted, Paula Deen makes some ridiculous meals drenched in fat and butter then deep fried and double-battered, only to be chocolate dipped and creme filled, frosted and sprinkled with sugar…ultimately layered and served complete with defibrillators.

There is no question, Paula Deen is not healthy chef (her cookbook was named the most artery-clogging of the past decade) but neither are kids. Kids want to have fun. When I was eating school lunch I used to buy ice cream bars and let them melt slightly…then slide the ice cream from the stick onto a chocolate chip cookie …cover with a second cookie…and then make a huge mess. I can’t remember my history teacher’s name but I can easily recite to you every snack and junk food we had at lunch.

The bottom line: I am sure there is no way the Krispy Kreme Burger will make it to any school’s lunchroom, especially with all the frightened mommies who think Paula is to blame for their chubby kids. On an optimistic note: maybe Paula’s celebrity, coupled with the blatant fact that children will never make it past the 5th grade eating her food…will foster a new and improved lunch menu and mindset in Savannah schools.
