Of course, he won't give you the ingredients unless you "register." Gee, I wonder what he'll do with my registration information? Jack (It's probably got something radical in it like . . . vitamins.)
No, it has soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate, natural apple cider vinegar, flaxseed oil, safflower oil, soy lecithin, MSM powder, glutamine powder, Creatine, and water, juices, yogurt, and strawberries. Sounds delicious, NOT!
Just in case his s uggested capping of another human wasn't bad enough, we have him pimping his powder on his TV program--paid for by donations. So he uses a not-for-profit enterprise to line his very much for-profit pockets. What a creep. Link to Washington Post story (subscription required, I believe):Click Here
At one time, didn't he also have an Age Defying Pancake, or some sort of other miracle pancake recipe?
Jimmy Be honest - don't you think that these TV Evangelists who make millions preaching the word of god give real men and women of the cloth a bad name? I read on the link that Robertson thinks he can leg press 2000 lbs - NOT! And I thought lying was against one of the ten commandments.
Too bad Robertson doesn't have a stupid defying shake - he really needs that one. Perhaps he could share it with Jerry Falwell, Oral Roberts, and Jimmy Swaggart. (Jim "I didn't have sex with that women either" Bakker could be helped by such a concoction as well) Hey -- I thought God was supposed to call Oral home - still waiting..
Actually Bakker admitted to having sex and in his book I WAS WRONG, gives a full account of his actions and takes personal responsibility for those actions. It's an excellent read. Swaggart, on the other hand, continues to refuse taking responsibility blaming Satan!
Nothing. The web site's been programmed so that as long as the registrant/visitor is you or me or Jimmy or John Q. Public, then said visitor is taken to the web page that Jimmy describes. But if anyone named Hugo Chavez registers, and specifies COUNTRY = VENEZUELA, then the visitor is taken to a page that looks the same, and includes all the same ingredients... ...plus a few of these. It's called "Pat Robertson's Life Defying Shake." Not one, but two familiar slogans are appropriate here: Technology makes almost anything possible; and, Better living through chemistry.[/list=1]
As best I can figure out from Google, that 2000-pound leg press would be a world record for his age group by a considerable margin. Can we see him do this in public, or is it like the Maharishi flying and Mantak Chia walking through walls -- only the faithful get to see? --John Bear (who thought Osama bin Laden was the age-defying sheikh)
On the diet drink, Robertson is referred to as "Dr. Pat Robertson," with no reference to the fact that his title comes from an academic degree, the J.D., and that his profession generally disavows the use of that title professionally. Using a non-medical title of "doctor" on a diet drink is incredibly misleading. This is a very bad man.
People have been convicted of fraud for doing just that, such as the case of an audiologist in NY with a genuine Ph.D. who advertised his hearing aid services as by Dr. So-and-so and the courts held that this use of "Doctor" in a health-related field was fraudulent.
I think I remember something like that from your book. Was that a PhD? Or were the powers that be worried that people might mistake an AuD for an MD?
