Doctors to Infallible Church Leader: Lay Off the Pasta, Fatso

Carbs: one of the seven deadly sins.
Carbs: one of the seven deadly sins.

Pope Francis apparently needs to reign in his carb consumption: Vatican doctors have ordered the 78-year-old Argentine — a man with a known weak spot for dulce de leche — to not eat pasta more than twice per week.

As expected, the Pope’s culinary tastes are infallible — what better to eat in Rome than a good pasta al pomodoro? But his health is failing (and he recently had a “feeling” his papacy is in its final couple years), so he can’t be angry at doctors for putting the kibosh on his Italian diet. At least the pontiff got to eat one last pizza.
