Deen, who will turn 65 on Thursday, said she kept her diagnosis private as she and her family figured out what to do, presumably about her health and a career built solidly on Southern cooking. Among her recipes: deep-fried cheesecake covered in chocolate and powdered sugar, and a quiche that calls for a pound of bacon.

“I really sat on this information for a few years because I said, ‘Oh, my gosh, what am I going to do about this? Is my life fixing to change? Am I no longer going to like my life?’ ” she asked. “I had to have time to adjust and soak it all in and get up all the information that I could.”

HOHOHO, Anthony Bourdain must have had a shaudenfeudgasm when he read this.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. But kudos to her for hiding her own condition and continuing to prop up the butter and Lipitor (and doughnut) industries.

in the end, this is about as surprising as a "Guy Fieri has herpes" headline.

Are we in some sort of parallel SF universe now?

So what? Before that she pushed fatty foods and was simply fat, no one had a problem with it. Both are life threatening.

More surprised that she didn't have it until recently. Unless she hasnt been getting checkups.

Money and fame I guess trumps health concerns.
