Paula Deen Resolution: Why We Think You Can Do Better by Smithfield Workers
It is with great disappointment that we have made the decision to no longer watch Paula Deen, a Food Network chef and cookbook author who we have loved for many years. We will no longer be purchasing her magazine or books, sharing stories about her show, or making any statement or observation that could in any way be construed as supporting her continued relationship with and consistent statements in support of Smithfield Foods.

Rep Power: 1 | I guess it is okay for anyone to take a stand in his/her own little blog on whatever subject that matters to him/her. There are about 2309584357 food blogs out there so all I'll say is knock yourself out, pal. | |

Rep Power: 0 |  Yeah, But . . .
I guess, as a Food Network fan and a Paula Deen fan, that it is helpful to know things like this. I guess I found what Paula said somewhat more worrisome than some blogger standing up for these workers. I did some looking around and it sounds pretty terrible. If my husband's work (or my work) involved that kind of treatment, I don't know what I would do.
Those comments are a bit much though.

Rep Power: 10 |  I hope whatever the problems are they can be worked out. I do wonder who got this endorsement job for Paula, I wonder if they even told her about all of this before she signed.

Rep Power: 1 | Maybe I've been living in a cave, or maybe I just don't do that much ham, but what is the issue with Smithfield? |

Rep Power: 10 | I am not sure what the exact complaint is, but something about the company being unfair to it's employees in some way.
