Pat Robertson slams low-carb diets for 'violating' God's principles
Considering going on a low-carb diet? You may have considered the health implications, but have you checked it with your local priest?
If you take Pat Robertson at his word you may wish to, after the well-known American TV evangelist hit out at the fad for low-carb diets. He might not be the first person to criticise high protein diets, which have long been a subject of debate among dieticians, but he may be one of the first to try to criticise them for “violating” God’s principles.
“You get swollen joints, you get gout, you get all kinds of problems, where you ache like crazy,” Robertson told The 700 Club programme on CBN - a network that he owns. “Everybody thought Atkins was wonderful and they’ve got all these scientific tests, but... The carbs are the fire that burn everything completely. Sooner or later, it violates the principles that God set down.”

Yeesh. I don't like finding out Part Robertson and I agree about anything.
Although his reasons for bashing on Paleo diets are so stupid it's almost as though we don't agree anyway. So there's that.

Perhaps he's about to peg it and wants to take his flock with him. I think we should encourage it.
