Saturday, December 21, 2002Condemning the evils of ``syrup-drenched hot cakes,'' television evangelist Pat Robertson is pitching his own ``Age-Defying Protein Pancake'' to the millions who watch him daily on The 700 Club. Robertson, 72, cooked up a stack of the pancakes during a broadcast last month on the Christian Broadcasting Network, which Robertson founded and heads. Within 48 hours, 38,000 people had called for the recipe or had downloaded the preacher's pancake off the CBN.com Web site. The high-protein flapjacks are credited by Robertson with helping to protect against breast, uterine and prostate cancer, and with fighting the buildup of plaque in blood vessels. ``My mother taught me to cook when I was a little boy, and I've been relatively good at it,'' he said. The griddle cake is the third nutritional promotion by Robertson, who also extols ``Pat's Age-Defying Shake'' and ``Pat's Age-Defying Antioxidants.'' None of the promotions sells a product. Instead, Robertson provides recipes with ingredients, such as soy flour and plain yogurt, and identifies specific vitamins and minerals that help protect against disease. posted by Sydney on 12/21/2002 09:22:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
