If Paula Deen won’t tell people that diet and exercise help alleviate type 2 diabetes, then who will? Well, the New York Sports Club for one. They’re currently running ads that read: “paula, you made a fortune off of fat. call us if you want to be around to enjoy it.” We’d say this is in poor taste, but Paula sort of set a precedent, and it is kinda funny. We’re just surprised Deen didn’t double down on her endorsements and become a gym spokesperson, too. [Copyranter, Earlier]
