Pat Robertson: Low-carb diets ‘violate God’s principles’ and halal meat funds terrorism

Televangelist Pat Robertson offered up some thoughts on food Monday on his 700 Club program.

After the show aired a report on the beneficial effects of a low-carb diet, Robertson said he strongly disagreed with the purported health benefits of a high-fat, high-protein diet.

“The carbs are the fire that burns everything completely,” Robertson said. “Sooner or later it violates principles that God sent down.”

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that carbohydrates should make up about half of daily calorie consumption because they boost energy and may protect against some types of disease and help control weight.

10. Don't tell him he looks sick...

maybe he'll do us all a favor and just die already.

As a recently diagnosed diabetic and someone who is on a low-carb diet by doctor's orders to try to control the disease, I cordially invite Pat Robertson to kiss my ass. That son of a bitch is someone I would pay to watch be waterboarded (if they wouldn't let me do the deed myself)...
