Paula Deen Shame Watch: Writes Avram Lyon, executive director of the Jewish Labor Committee, "I won’t watch Paula Deen anymore. Because now when I see her on television, all I can think of are the people working under horrible conditions at Smithfield. Instead of seeing Paula Deen, all I can picture is Vanessa Reeves lying on a cold, wet, slaughterhouse floor." We guess she wasn’t buying pork products anyway, but we’re glad to see the Food Network boycott. (The Jewish Daily Forward)
